South By San José
Since 2000, we’ve hosted South by San José in the parking lot we share with Jo’s Coffee. Each year, we come together for live music, local vendors, and good times. Music starts at noon each day, rain or shine, and the party is always and forever free to attend.

SXSJ Merch
We can’t wait to share our 2026 merch collection with y’all.
Stop by the official SXSJ Merch Booth for tees (adult, kiddo, and bebe), totes, koozies, lighters, and the grand madame of SXSJ merch … the Official SXSJ Poster.
We’ll sell in person first at the fest and move over to online after the event—but if you can get here, do! We’ll sell out of most of these pieces in person and when they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
