SoFA District First Fridays are San José's premiere monthly art gallery crawl event, opening up many of the city's most sophisticated and cutting-edge art galleries, studios, and museums to the public for free on the first Friday evening of each month. Beginning at 7:00pm, visitors can explore the district as part of self-guided tours and see specially-curated gallery exhibit openings and live performances at many sites. Many venues offer complimentary wine and refreshments, and many restaurants and bars in the region offer discounts and specials for the evening of the event. Outside, art vendor booths, entertainment stages, and a beer garden are offered for visitors until midnight. Map
