Culture Clubbing Americana meets the great melting pot at these mid-year celebrations

SubZero Festival

County Fair

SoFA District, San Jose | June 2-3

This year marks the 10th annual SubZero Festival—a celebration of art, music and the eccentricities of valley’s creative community. For two days, South Bay makers, musicians, painters and performers take over South First Street. More info at subzerofestival.com.

A long-standing American tradition, the county fair is a go-to event for teens, families and funnel cake fiends. This year, the Santa Clara County Fair is beefing up its focus on STEAM. Learn about the science behind raising livestock and tinker with robots. All this, plus plenty of fried food, arcade games and quirky carnival rides. More info at thefair.org.
