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.
