Summer Nights in SoFA: Discover the Pobladores Night Market

Every Thursday night from June 12 to July 31, 2025, Downtown San Jose’s SoFA District comes alive with the Pobladores Night Market. Held at Parque de los Pobladores (501 S 1st St & William St) from 5:30 to 9 p.m., this open-air event offers a fresh way to experience the city’s creative pulse. Whether you’re a local looking for a new weeknight hangout or a visitor eager to explore, this free market welcomes everyone to dive into a vibrant mix of culture, food, and community.

Wander through the market and you’ll find 20 local makers, artists, and small businesses showcasing their talents. From handcrafted goods to one-of-a-kind creations, these stalls highlight the ingenuity thriving in San Jose. Live music and cultural performances set the tone, while art galleries open their doors for a dose of inspiration. Hungry? Food trucks roll in with diverse, delicious options, and a laid-back beer garden provides a spot to sip and unwind. It’s a snapshot of what makes Downtown San Jose a hub of innovation and connection.

The Pobladores Night Market isn’t just about shopping or eating, though. It’s a chance to feel the energy of the SoFA District and meet the people who shape it. Bring friends, strike up conversations, or simply soak in the atmosphere. Each Thursday offers a new opportunity to discover something unexpected, whether it’s a performance that moves you or a dish you can’t stop talking about.

There is plenty of parking nearby and it's free after 6pm at the First Street & I-280 lot. All street parking spots are also free after 6pm.
