South By San José
Thank you to all the bands and vendors who came out and made our 25th Anniversary completely unforgettable, and to all of YOU—our community—who came this week to listen, dance, shop, drink and hang!
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
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.
SXStay
Whether it’s your first time time at our biggest event of the year or the 25th, we’re here to be your home during the fest. Book your South by San José Stay. We’ll provide the VIP treatment: official SXSJ souvenirs, including this year’s commemorative poster, 2 free drinks from Jo’s Coffee to start the mornings right, and exclusive access to the show so you can skip the line and get right to the party.
