With the holiday season in full swing, many will be traveling through San Jose Mineta International Airport — potentially a 6.6% jump from last year.

But SJC is doing things a little different this year: aside from its usual fare of delicious restaurants, the best midsize airport in the US will also feature more holiday magic (and we’re not just talking about the therapy dogs).

The airport has festive holiday decorations set up throughout the terminals and — during peak hours this week — will have live holiday music courtesy of local musician Simon Santiago:

  • Wednesday, Nov. 22 | Terminal B | 9 a.m.-11 a.m.
  • Saturday, Nov. 25 | Terminal A | 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
  • Sunday, Nov. 26 | Terminal B | 9 a.m.-11 a.m.
