Our multicultural heritage is reflected in our businesses, neighborhoods, cuisine, festivals, and the shared values that unite us. History San Jose will enable us to learn more of this history first-hand by opening their cultural museums for our event. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected community that thrives on mutual support and shared opportunities. We honor this diversity and the entrepreneurial spirit that has driven San Jose to the forefront of innovation. Here's to San Jose, The Valley of Heart's Delight—where history, culture, and innovation come together to create a brighter future. So, mark your calendar for August 21st, and join us in celebrating the achievements of our local businesses, the strength of our community, and the unique character of San Jose.
