San José Made will be bringing its 3rd Annual San José Winter Wonder Market to Downtown San José's South Hall on Dec. 13–14, 2025. This is going to be a fun, festive, large-scale event where you can do your #shopsmall gift shopping before the end of the year — whether that be for last minute gifts, preparation for the new year, a fun excuse to go out with family and friends, or even a special treat (or two or three?) for yourself. Featuring over 250+ makers, artists, designers, bakers, culinary minds and creative small businesses. Over 60% of the vendors who are vending at Winter Wonder Market 2025 will not be vending at SJMADE Holiday Fair 2025, so if you go to both events you are bound to find lots of unique vendor experiences at both events! Free admission for attendees.
