About The Event

Jeepney Jam and FAHM Jam are vibrant cultural celebrations in San Jose, paying homage to the rich heritage of the Philippines and Filipino Americans residing in Silicon Valley. These festivities trace their roots back to the iconic ‘Street Jam’ Filipino American Cultural Festival (Youtube), which graced Downtown San Jose from 1994 to 2001 and organized by the Filipino American Heritage Appreciation Project (FAHAP) organization. The modern incarnations of these celebrations, starting with FAHM Jam in 2019 and Jeepney Jam in 2022, serve as the spiritual successors to the South Bay’s beloved Street Jam Festival.

These celebrations showcase our Filipino American unity and the diversity of Silicon Valley. These events provide a platform for artists, performers, chefs, and entrepreneurs to share their talents, connect with the community, and honor their cultural roots through art, music, dance, and cuisine.

A key aspect of these celebrations is their commitment to accessibility—admission is always free, ensuring everyone can participate. By bringing people together through performances, food, and cultural exhibits, Jeepney Jam & FAHM Jam highlight the richness of Filipino heritage while fostering a sense of pride, connection, and inclusivity in San Jose’s cultural landscape.
