One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com

We’re also releasing a limited run of merch, including new XOXO letters tees, a beautiful embroidered Explore logo sweatshirt, hats, enamel pins, and stickers, all featuring our primary year colors and the new Explore logo. xoxofest.com/merch
We also have a few unique and extremely limited edition items, including hand-sewn felt badges in the eight festival year colors from long-time friend of the festival Booky Margoof. xoxofest.com/merch
Two original LEGO sets—one of the festival layout at Washington High and another of the XOXO Explore logo, designed by Portland LEGO designer Nate Funk. xoxofest.com/merch
And a desktop-sized version of our lit “Lower Your Expectations” sign, fabricated by our friends at Big Secret in Richmond, Virginia. xoxofest.com/merch
