Live music, vendors, food trucks, and family fun is what you can expect at the Pobladores Night Market on South First and William Streets. Held in San Jose’s SOFA art and cultural district, the block party will be held each Thursday night until the end August. Some local organizations, including the Institute of Contemporary Art, The San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, MACLA, and Sacred Heart will each guest host a block party. Janaya Monique says she started as a visual artist during the pandemic and is now sharing her work at Pobladores Night Market.
