Custom Merch for Events in Bakersfield, CA
Merch Mob makes attendee and souvenir tees, staff, crew and security shirts, and volunteer shirts for events in Bakersfield, CA, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Bakersfield. Slightly more of Bakersfield is 18 to 34 than the country as a whole, 25% against 23% (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so plan for a mixed crowd: a soft tee in a full size range, plus one oversized style.

What Bakersfield's weather means for events
July is the hardest month to staff an outdoor event in Bakersfield: its average high is 98°F, and 90°F arrives on roughly 112 days a year, so the big outdoor dates belong in spring and fall, with summer shows moved to the evening. Daytime races and fleece sales both get a window from December to February, when average highs settle under 65°F for long enough that hoodies earn space on the merch table. After dark, December temperatures drop toward an average low of 40°F, so staff working a night event need a long sleeve or hoodie on hand, even when the afternoon was warm. On about 35 days a year the temperature tops 100°F, so midday outdoor shifts need shade, water and the lightest staff shirt available, ideally in a pale, bright color. Rain rarely threatens an outdoor date: six or more months a year see less than half an inch, and the yearly total is about 6.4 inches, so spend the weather budget on shade, caps and water instead of tents.
