Friend Fest 2025

Friend Fest is back? Let's goooo!!

Happening on Feb. 22-23, 2025, our fifth annual Friend Fest will feature 250+ makers, artists, artisans, designers & creative small businesses all celebrating best friends, new friends, old friends, "we're just friends", "wanna be more than friends" or whatever! 

In addition to our large scale friendship inspired vendor marketplace, Friend Fest 2025 will feature lots and lots of special Friend Fest programming and activities, special Friend Fest door giveaways and most importantly, lots and lots of friendship vibes. 

Plus special Friend Fest event experiences for friends, roommates (😳), siblings, lovers, loners, enemies (but soon to be friends). Stay tuned for special programming announcements, coming soon.

Located at South Hall (435 S. Market Street, San José, CA). Open from 11 am to 6 pm each day. Free admission. All ages. Indoor venue. Strict service animals only policy.

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: 

  • San Jose Convention Center Garage (view)
  • Almaden & Woz Parking Lot (view)

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.

Vendor Info

  • All vendor spaces have been sold out for this event and the waitlist is currently full. Any other vendor related questions should be directed to events@sanjosemade.com. 
  • Applications for next year's event will go live in September 2025. 
  • We only sell booth spaces through our official website (sanjosemade.com). Vendors who purchase booth spaces for any events of ours through any other sales channels will NOT be accommodated as those channels are illegitimate. If anybody reaches out to you claiming to be selling booth spaces for any of our events, this is a scam.
