EASTSIDE Magazine was created to capture the heart of East San José by highlighting the community’s deeply rooted history, cultural vibrancy, ample assets, and considerable resources.

Over the past six years, it has evolved from a grassroots platform into a trusted bilingual cultural publication—one that provides opportunities for local writers, photographers, and designers while preserving the region’s identity and amplifying the voices of underrepresented individuals.

With a commitment to local storytelling, EASTSIDE Magazine has built a collaborative ecosystem that centers on community voices and challenges mainstream narratives. It is a platform for inter-generational and multicultural voices often overlooked by traditional media.
