Alebrijes en San Jose

Step into a world of color and imagination with Alebrijes en San José! This breathtaking public art installation is brought to life by San Jose Jazz and community partners.

Traveling from Oaxaca, Mexico, the eight mesmerizing alebrijes, towering 20 to 22 feet tall, will transform Plaza de César Chávez into an open-air celebration of culture and creativity. These vibrant, mythical creatures honor the richness of Mexican heritage through bold design and masterful craftsmanship.

On display during the 35th annual San José Jazz Summer Fest (August 8–10) and continuing through September 28, this is your chance to experience downtown like never before. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience art, culture and community in the heart of San Jose!
