PETE BE Presents is designed to do 3 things:
(1) Help ignite and revitalize local businesses,
(2) Create local jobs, and
(3) Develop economic growth within our community.
We create events with a powerful production that bring people together through music and commonality while developing a sense of community for sustainable economic growth organically. We recognize that arts and culture are essential elements in the character and quality of life in a vibrant community. Summer Bash and BEohana Night Market were developed to serve those causes.
The purpose is to invigorate and revitalize downtown San Jose, enhance cultural enrichment, and expand access for all city residents to a wide range of cultural experiences in the form of community festivals and celebrations. We want to invest in the communities of the City of San Jose and support San Jose’s economic vitality. Our vision is to increase the city’s visibility and reputation as a desired destination for visitors.
The night market, summer bash, and the concert experience with PETE BE Presents come with affordable ticket prices, quality entertainment, and good vibe enjoyment for our family, friends, and fans alike. Working with Giving With Aloha in an effort to give-back, proceeds benefit abused children in our community and the Hawaiian islands.
Our people are the foundation for success in our organization. We foster a healthy working environment that allows our staff and volunteers known as “da team” to grow and prosper internally. This means respecting diversity and individuality, practicing teamwork, and rejecting hierarchy.
We believe that something magical and incredible happen when “da team” works together in harmony, especially when everyone on “da team” is equally invested in the overall purpose and goal.
Teamwork is especially important as we maintain loyal members with a passionate commitment to excellence. We believe that if we do a great job of selecting, training, and motivating “da team”, we’ll do a great job of contributing to our community. That means keeping ourselves accessible and responsive to our partners and clients, and adhering to the highest standards of integrity and trustworthiness.
