Parking
There is free on-site parking spaces available at the Santa Clara Convention Center's Parking Lot (5001 Great America Parkway, Santa Clara, CA) as well as its Secondary Parking Lot on Tasman Drive (2525 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, CA). You can view the image to get a sense of where these lots are located in relation to the actual Convention Center building.
Additional Parking Notes:
- The drop-off zone and accessibility parking area are located directly in front of the Santa Clara Convention Center near the main entrance (view our site map here).
- If you enter the venue from Great American Parkway entrance near the Hyatt Regency, you should see the main parking entrance straight ahead once you turn into the venue.
- If you somehow find yourself circling the parking tower on-site looking for the main entrance, you'll see a few PERMIT ONLY entrances on the ground level of the parking tower. You will NOT be able to access the lot from these entrances. If you see these PERMIT ONLY entrances, please continue circling the lot until you find the main entrance.
- There are some spots marked for the Hyatt Hotel's Valet Parking on the ground level of the parking structure. Your vehicle will be towed if it is parked in one of these spots.
- If the Santa Clara Convention Center Parking Lot and the Secondary Parking Lot are full on any of the days, we recommend viewing the lot options here. Please note that these options may be closed or may be paid options.
We strongly recommend using the public transportation to get to the venue to minimize the amount of time spent looking for parking. There is also a VTA Light Rail Station "Great America Station" in front of the venue. Plan your light rail trip to the event here: https://www.vta.org/trip-planner

Vendor Application
- The vendor application closes April 13th, after which the event and vendor waitlist will be FULL.
- If you have any questions about vending at future SJMADE Summer Fair events, please contact us at events@sanjosemade.com.
- SCAM ALERT: Please feel free to share with any of your fellow vendors or vendor communities. We have seen a reported increase of instances on Facebook and Instagram of people attempting to scam prospective vendors by purporting to be "selling" the last few vendor spaces for the event. In many of these cases, the scammer asks for payment via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or some other form of digital payment after filling out a Google Form. Please note that these people (i.e. the scammers) are not associated with San José Made in any way. We never sell vendor spaces through social media direct messages or even text messages for that matter. We only sell vendor spaces through our official website (sanjosemade.com). If you ever encounter communication online from a non-SJMADE account purporting to be associated with SJMADE, please feel free to contact us at either events@sanjosemade.com or info@sanjosemade.com. We would be happy to verify for you whether or not the communication you've received has officially come from us. Please note that we cannot honor any vendor booth spaces that were purchased through channels that were not ours.
