San Jose’s forgotten Midtown is reborn with night-time flair

A new idea in an underutilized part of San Jose could turn into a win for a variety of businesses and the residents living in the area.

Midtown Immersive Night Party, created by event planners Jonathan and Linnea Gomez, is a night-time venue waiting to be discovered and an opportunity to boost a forgotten part of San Jose. The party brings together artists, food trucks, vendors and music on McEvoy Street, just off San Carlos Street. The couple received a $50,000 Abierto grant from the city, a program created to help revive neighborhoods post COVID-19 pandemic.
