San Jose is about to serve up a cultural feast that’ll make your weekend look like a bland TV dinner. 🔥

Get ready for a weekend packed with more excitement than a startup pitch meeting. From celebrating Juneteenth with a country twist to honoring Portuguese heritage and rocking out at blues festivals, the city is proving why it’s not just another tech hub.

Juneteenth Gets a Cowboy Makeover

The African American Community Services Agency is flipping the script on Juneteenth this year. Forget traditional celebrations - they’re bringing a full-blown country and western vibe to downtown’s SoFA district. Rising country star Tiera Kennedy (yes, the one featured on Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter”) is headlining, and the Bill Pickett Rodeo will showcase Black cowboy culture in all its glory.

Portugal Meets San Jose

If you’re craving some international flavor, the Dia de Portugal festival at History Park is your ticket. With performances, art presentations, and enough food to feed a small army, this celebration promises to transport you straight to the streets of Lisbon - minus the transatlantic flight.

Blues, Brews, and Bay Area Vibes

Music lovers, rejoice! The 42nd Fountain Blues & Brews Festival is expanding to two epic days. Local guitar legend Laura Chavez, who made blues history by becoming the first woman to win a major instrumentalist award, will be melting faces at the Main Stage.

Whether you’re into protest, celebration, or just want to soak up some killer local culture, San Jose is serving it up this weekend. Who said the South Bay can’t party?
