24 hour emergency source and what's in the area

We are not advertising for the following merchants. Simply, they are located CLOSE to the venues mentioned and can get services to you quicker than any other.

The Downtown Venues:  The California Theatre, SJ Arena, SJCPA, SJ Civic, SJ Convention Center,  Montgomery, Parkside Hall,  SJ Event Ctr, Fairmont, Hilton, Marriott, Tech Museum, Downtown Clubs, and IA Offices.  Only the Arena, Event Center, and the Convention Center have good dock/bus facilities.  The others load from the street or have limited dock facilities.  No venues have vehicle washing facilities.

Flint Center:  Located at Stevens Creek Blvd and HiWay 85, on the DeAnza college campus.  There is no dock but street level load-in; two trucks can squeeze to the back door.  Truck/bus parking can be arranged through Flint Center.

Fairgrounds: On Tully Rd, in San Jose, the state and fate of the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds is in constant flux.  As of this update (below) all the back lots and the race track are gone.  Only the pavilions remain.

Mountain Winery: Located up Pierce Rd off of HiWay 9 in Saratoga.  The Winery location can be best described as 'remote'.  Only a bobtail can make it down to load-in level.  All other trucks and busses remain in the parking lot.

Shoreline Ampitheatre: Located at the juncture of Ampitheatre Parkway and Shoreline Blvd.  Excellent loading dock and bus parking.  Driver showers are available. The Ampitheatre is up against the Bay Sanctuary and golf course. Because of run-off to the sanctuary, vehicle washing is not allowed there.

Santa Clara Convention Center: Located on Great America Parkway, behind the Great America theme park, the SCCC is surrounded by modern electronic business areas.  Excellent loading and parking facilities.
