Discovery Meadow is an open-air festival venue in central San Jose, designed as a broad green space suitable for major concerts, festivals, cultural events, and other outdoor programs. Unlike a conventional arena, it has no permanent stage or fixed grandstands, allowing the layout to be adapted to each individual event. According to City of San Jose guidelines, the site can accommodate approximately 26,000 visitors in a standing configuration, while seated event layouts can accommodate up to approximately 12,000 people.
The experience inside Discovery Meadow depends on the production of each event: stages, sound systems, audience areas, food and beverage stands, and additional festival facilities are installed temporarily. Its open configuration gives organizers considerable flexibility, while the expansive lawn allows different audience zones and supporting areas to be created. For larger events, checking the event-specific site map and entry rules in advance is recommended because entrances, stages, and individual sections may change between productions.
Discovery Meadow is located at 180 Woz Way, San Jose, United States, near the intersection of Woz Way and West San Carlos Street. The Children's Discovery Museum light rail station is immediately nearby, while parking is available around Woz Way and beneath Highway 87, within a short walk of the event grounds.
