Summer brings the FIFA World Cup 2026, with Levi's Stadium hosting multiple matches full of international flair. Fans from around the globe will flood the area, and San Jose hosts fan fests, cultural activations, and events that highlight the city's diversity. Easy access via San Jose Mineta International Airport makes San Jose a prime base for visitors, while residents enjoy the vibrant atmosphere spilling into neighborhoods and venues.
Beyond the stadium spotlight, San Jose's cultural scene will thrive with favorites like San Jose Jazz Summer Fest delivering top performances in Plaza de César Chávez. New housing projects will move forward, adding modern apartments and townhomes to welcome more residents to growing districts. Tech innovations and business expansions keep the momentum strong, creating jobs and opportunities.
This combination of world-class events and steady progress on local projects will position San Jose as a premier destination. From game days to festival nights, 2026 offers countless reasons to take pride in being a San Josean.
