📣 It’s official family. The Haberdasher Shows are launching again this year, April through August.
What started as a pre-pandemic idea came back in 2025 as a small pilot that somehow turned into 7 straight months of free, at or near capacity nights. Music. Pop up photography. Art. Craft cocktails. Vendors. It took its own life. Folx I look up to lent their talent, the creative community showed up, and the vibes were healing.
Thank you to Tomo for trusting my creative vision and really working at this thing with me. Thank you to the staff who held it down on the packed nights.
Special S/O to the bandmates @bennettrothnewell , @distractedcircuits , who helped me launch this and who generously shared their talent and time. I’m gonna miss rocking with yall, and I’m also excited for what’s to come for all of us. Much love and upward momentum.
To every vendor, artist, musician, and supporter who shared your time and heart: thank you. We built our own mini-ecosystem.
We’re one month away from our return, and I’m walking into this new season with a clear intention: Keep building a safe, free creative space where the community feels held, and where every dollar stays local with artists and small businesses.
Lineup coming.
See you soon.

DATES: April 2 • May 7 • June 4 • July 2 • August 5*

Shout out to Cash Only and Haberdasher for ordering sandwiches for their team as they get ready to open their new bar, BitterBuck, in Downtown San Jose!
We personally dropped off two full bags of sandwiches since it was on the way to pick up the kids from summer camp.
This is what community looks like: showing up, supporting one another, and cheering each other on through the hustle.
Here’s to all the dreamers and doers building side by side. Cheers! #DowntownSanJose #BitterBuck #CashOnly #Haberdasher #SpreadDeli #dipsomaniainc #japantownsj
