San José Made, also known as SJMADE, is a San Jose-based organization dedicated to helping local makers, artists, and small businesses grow at pop-up markets around the Bay Area. And this month, they’re hosting SJMADE Fest, their largest outdoor event of the year!
SJMADE Fest will take over History Park in San Jose with more than 250 vendors, including artists, designers, and artisans, as well as memorable activities, including a K-Pop stage and a kitten lounge.
If this isn’t already on your calendar, make sure you clear the weekend of May 30-31, 2026, to head down to San Jose for a memorable weekend of crafts and activities.
How to make the most of SJMADE Fest
The enormous outdoor event will feature several hundred vendors in a range of disciplines, including artists, designers, curators, chefs, bakers, crafters, and more.
Each day, the first 1,000 attendees will receive a free exclusive tote bag at the door, featuring illustrations by event artist Megan Badilla. Use it to take home everything from vintage clothing to handmade jewelry and art!
As if that weren’t enough, SJMADE Fest will host an adorable Kitten Lounge courtesy of Mini Cat Town, where you can reserve a slot to play and cuddle with adoptable kittens.
K-Pop-Up will also hold engaging activities all day long, including periodic performances, K-Pop dance classes, and DJ sets.
Local food vendors and trucks are on site all day, serving creative dishes that showcase the best of the Bay’s culinary scene.
