Live Hat Bar in New York
Custom patch hats, live embroidery, and on-site merch for events in New York — the highest-stakes event market — venue dock windows are tight, freight elevators are tighter, and 'plan B' isn't optional.
Live Hat Bar comes to New York
We've been running live merch activations in New York since 2018. Our crew handles every part of the booth: blank sourcing in your brand colors, patch artwork and production, live press operation, guest flow, and tear-down. You get a finished activation; we own the logistics.

Crew and logistics
Equipment ships ahead. Crew flies in. We've run Javits enough times to know the tunnel.
What a typical New York activation looks like
A two-day load-in, four-day live booth, single tear-down day. Two press stations side-by-side, four hat styles in six colors, three patch options for guests to choose from. Roughly 600–900 finished hats over the run. Quote scope adjusts with guest count and decoration mix.
