We are thrilled to announce the San Jose Chamber of Commerce Annual Barbecue, a summer celebration of everything that makes San Jose truly remarkable! Held August 20, 2026 at History San Jose Park, this vibrant event brings our community together to celebrate our rich heritage, dynamic culture, and pioneering spirit in business and technology. San Jose, California’s first Capital, is not just the birthplace of innovative ideas but also the heart of Silicon Valley. Our city is a testament to progress, from its days as an agricultural hub to its current status as a global tech powerhouse. The San Jose Chamber of Commerce, the oldest in California, has played a pivotal role in nurturing this evolution since its inception, supporting businesses, fostering economic growth and supporting our broader community. This year’s celebration is a tribute to our 140th anniversary. Since 1886, the San Jose Chamber of Commerce has been dedicated to fostering economic growth, promoting business development, and advocating for the interests of our local business community. Our members include businesses of all sizes and industries, from established companies to start-ups. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected community that thrives on mutual support and shared opportunities. We honor the diversity and the entrepreneurial spirit that has driven San Jose to the forefront of innovation. Here's to San Jose, The Valley of Heart's Delight—where history, culture, and innovation come together to create a brighter future. So, mark your calendar for August 20th, and join us in celebrating the achievements of our local businesses, the strength of our community, and the unique character of San Jose.
