About this Event

In Honor of Filipino American History Month, Discover San Jose’s Hidden Filipino American History!


Hosted by The Filipino American National Historical Society FANHS-SCV , join Pinoytown San Jose Tours for a captivating walk through one of San Jose’s forgotten Filipino American neighborhoods. Led by local historian Robert “Manong Robert” Ragsac, this tour brings to life the vibrant stories of Filipino pioneers who helped shape the city’s multicultural heritage. You’ll explore the historic streets once filled with Filipino cafés, pool halls, and community gathering spots, while learning about the resilience and contributions of early Filipino immigrants.

Perfect for locals, visitors, and history enthusiasts alike, Pinoytown San Jose Tours offers a powerful way to connect with the heart of the community and celebrate the rich Filipino roots of the South Bay.

The tours are free but donations are welcome for the sustainability of our Pinoytown SJ tours.
