Both run noon to eleven on the same Saturday, which is eleven hours. Treat that as the participating span rather than a route anyone completes.
Does San Jose carry a full calendar?
All nine national dates appear, from Oktoberfest in September through to July 4th, with nothing missing from the listing. That is a complete run, though both December windows stretch to eleven hours on the page.
Which San Jose district hosts the crawls?
San Pedro Square and the SoFA district downtown are the two candidates, both compact and a short walk from each other.
Why does San Pedro Square suit a route?
Because the market hall and the surrounding blocks concentrate venues tightly, which is unusual for a city as spread out as San Jose.
Does San Jose State shape the crowd?
Partly. The campus sits beside downtown, so term time adds students, though the city's tech workforce makes up more of the room than in a college town.
Can I take VTA or Caltrain to a crawl?
Both serve downtown, though check the timetables. Caltrain in particular runs a limited weekend evening service, so the last northbound train matters.
How does San Jose compare with San Francisco?
San Jose is calmer, cheaper and more local. San Francisco carries the same nine dates but across four competing districts and a far larger visitor crowd.
What is San Jose weather like across these?
Mild and dry for most of them. The South Bay avoids the fog that shapes San Francisco, so evenings here are more reliably comfortable.
