Northside Holiday Potluck | December

Get to know your neighbors by sharing a meal during the holidays. The NNA hosts an annual potluck event at a local venue for Northside San Jose residents with attendance from the Mayor and Councilmembers. It's a priority for the association to continue providing opportunities to gather and foster relationships with neighbors. Annually around December, we ask that you bring a tasty dish to share and spend time chatting and bonding with your neighbors.
