Backyard SJ

Backyard is repurposing a parking lot in the heart of Downtown San Jose into a pop-up outdoor community and event space. It will host keynote speakers, movie nights, bazaars, a lounge, outdoor co-working space and more.

The Backyard app gives you access to our space @ Fountain Alley (35 S. 2nd St, San Jose, CA) where you can eat, drink, rest, learn, play, share, be. Easily find events and book classes, concerts, markets, and coworking space—seven days a week.
