POWER OF 10

Gordon Biersch Night Market was designed with the Power of 10 principle in mind. Power of 10 refers to a placemaking principle developed by Project for Public Spaces. This principle states that at least ten activities should be available and accessible during a given act of placemaking. These may include a place to sit, playgrounds to enjoy, places to meet a friend, music to hear, food to eat, etc. At every Gordon Biersch Night Market, we offer the following ten activities for attendees:

  1. Savory street food from ten food trucks
  2. Dessert food from two food trucks
  3. Craft beer by Gordon Biersch Brewing Company
  4. Live music curated by San Jose Jazz and performed on the San Jose Jazz Boombox Truck
  5. Eight creative retail booths to shop
  6. Cornhole games
  7. Table tennis tables
  8. Kid-friendly play area
  9. Beer garden seating
  10. Open space for dancing
  11. Live lucha libre wrestling (once a month)
