Unfortunately, due to Backyard SJ having to close its doors sooner than expected, this event has been canceled.
After three months, dozens of speakers and a multitude of interactive experiences, the Backyard experiment comes to a close. Come celebrate the successes and memories, find out what might happen next and learn how you can help to further the conversation about urban activation, community-building and creative placemaking in San Jose.
