Get ready for the debut of 365 Night Market — a dynamic, family-friendly festival celebrating culture, cuisine, and community in the heart of San Jose.

This two-day outdoor event will feature 60+ food vendors serving iconic Bay Area street eats, from cult-favorite chains like Dumpling Time and Koja Kitchen, to hidden gem brick-and-mortars offering everything from Michelin-inspired French cuisine to Mexican tacos, Filipino BBQ skewers, and so much more.

A curated artisan marketplace will showcase local small businesses, artists, and creators who offer handmade crafts, jewelry, home goods, and streetwear.

Live entertainment will take place throughout both nights, including traditional dance, cultural performances, and high-energy DJ sets for all ages.

Despite being a first-time event, 365 Night Market has already secured strong community and sponsor support. Tesla Inc. will provide a fleet of Cybertrucks to help power the event using clean energy — making this one of the first Bay Area festivals to integrate sustainable electric vehicle technology on this scale.

KACE Tea will also be onsite, giving away free bottles of Asian-inspired fruit tea to the first 500 attendees each night.

Following its March launch, 365 Night Market will return with additional dates throughout spring and summer 2025:

April 25–26
May 9–10
May 23–24
June 6–7
June 20–21
