History

Established in 2011.

San Pedro Square Market opened in September 2011 and has been hailed as a centerpiece in San Jose's effort to revitalize downtown. One block north of downtown's busiest thoroughfare, the Market encompasses an acre of property with approximately 25,000 square feet under a new building and two restored buildings, including the 1940s-era Lusardi Building and the former 1907 brick El Dorado Bakery building. The Market is located in the heart of downtown San Jose with more than 20 vendors offering food, drinks and shopping. From banh mi sandwiches to pizza, sushi to pho, burgers to spuds, or a signature cocktail at our handcrafted Market Bar to a craft bomber at the Market Beer Co, there are a variety of food and drink options for everyone. Thursday through Saturday, live music and entertainment is performed ranging from 70s tunes to indie rock, and from May through October Farmer's Market is held Fridays with fresh produce from more than 30 California-based growers and street.
