Parking
For those driving to the event, we highly recommend using the ParkSJ website to find a nearby parking lot or parking garage. The nearest lots are:
While there is a lot on-site at South Hall, the lot will be almost–if not completely–full by the time the event begins, due to the vendors using this lot for their own parking.
On Sunday, most street parking in downtown San José is free all day. Please check the parking signs in the area in which you are parking before leaving your vehicle.
There is accessibility parking available at all of the ParkSJ parking garages & lots. For drop-offs or pickups, we recommend heading directly to the South Hall venue located at 435 S Market Street, San José, CA and doing the drop off / pickup in the parking lot that surrounds the South Hall venue (NOTE: You will not be able to stop right in front of the venue on Market Street).
There is also a VTA Light Rail Stations near the venue in downtown San José. Plan your light rail trip to the event here: https://www.vta.org/trip-planner

If you have a ticket and there is a line to get into the event, please proceed directly to the entrance and show the staff your ticket so you don't have to wait in line and potentially miss your time slot.
