Featured Links






Important Festivals: Some of the festivals of San Jose which you can look forward to attending are Santa Clara County Fair, Music in the OTHER Park, San Jose America Festival, Cinco de Mayo Festival and Parade.

The Santa Clara County Fair is one of the biggest and best fairs in California. You can find entertainment and goods of all kinds here ranging from arts, crafts, concerts, a carnival, food, livestock, exhibitions, auto races, games, musical performances, and whatever else you can think of.

Customs and Traditions: It is almost a custom to tip in restaurants in San Jose as it is in the rest of the United States. Visitors from other countries might find it strange sometimes. In any restaurant in which you sit down to have a meal, you are expected to leave a tip of 15%. If the service is really good, some people even leave 20%. If you are dining out with a big group of people, the tip will be included in the bill that they give you. So, you should check the bill carefully to see if the tip is already included.
