The Mexican Heritage Plaza is a unique community and cultural arts facility located at the corner of Alum Rock and King in San José, in the heart of the area where Mexican Americans settled in San Jose in the mid-19th century.  The site formerly housed a grocery store that was the target of one of the first boycotts for farm workers’ rights organized by César Chavez.

The Plaza features a theater, pavilion, art gallery, classroom space, and an outdoor square and gardens built in the architectural style of a traditional Mexican plaza. The Plaza hosts plays and other performances, art exhibits, community events, corporate meetings, weddings and quinceañeras, and more.
