About Us

PETE BE FOUNDATION is where culture meets community—with Aloha at the center of it all. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we proudly partner with PETE BE CENTER, San Jose’s largest privately-owned music and event venue, to bring our mission to life through unforgettable experiences.

Together, we create dynamic cultural programming—live music, community festivals, and citywide celebrations—that uplift neighborhoods, empower youth, and unite diverse communities.

Our goal is to revitalize Downtown San Jose, expand access to the arts, and make San Jose a national destination for culture, creativity, and connection. By investing in inclusive programming and economic vibrancy, we’re building a stronger, more inspired city for all.

This is more than a partnership—it’s a movement rooted in purpose, powered by people, and driven by love for San Jose.
