Ready to meet your New Year’s resolution in San Jose? Don’t be nervous, we know you can do it. From finding more family time to getting your creative juices flowing, we’ve rounded up some local resolution recommendations.
Spend more quality time with family
Trivia Nights | There’s always that film or TV show that you and your family can quote word-for-word... grab a brew and test your knowledge at local taprooms and bars.
Local tours | The whole family can explore San Jose through history and art tours or even bond through a scavenger hunt.
Shop sustainably
The Source Zero | Get your soap refilled, shop biodegradable essentials, and take sustainability workshops to limit your plastic footprint.
Thrift stores | Goodbye fast fashion. Upgrade your wardrobe with unique, gently used clothing and give that vintage jacket a new home.
Nurture creativity

Theatre classes | Join 3Below Theaters for classes in acting, singing, and tap basics, as well as makeup, costume, and lighting design.
