How We Started

Caleb Arias
Founder of FestiBoox
Coachella 2019
Coachella was my first major music festival and I was intimidated to meet new people, I took my journal I always have with me and asked,
“Would you like to write something in my book?”
It was an easy way for me to break the ice and meet new people!
After getting a few signatures, a fellow festival-goer said to me,
“Oh that’s so cute! You want me to sign your yearbook?”
A light bulb went off and I immediately wrote “COACHELLA YEARBOOK” in big letters in my journal and started asking people,
“Would you like to sign the Coachella Yearbook?”
This small remark would stick with me and lead me on a path to making a yearbook at every festival I attended afterwards.

Lollapalooza was my second music festival and I made a goal to try and fill an entire notebook with signatures.
People loved the idea and wanted me to post the pages online.
When I got home, I took photos of all of the pages and posted them to a dedicated instagram account.
Social Media Didn’t Feel Tangible Enough.
I Wanted To Take the Yearbook Further.

For Bonnaroo 2023, I committed to my most ambitious yearbook project yet,
The Bonnaroo Yearbook
Over the course of 6 days, I obtained over 1,000 signatures, photographed anyone willing to participate, and created a final printed yearbook full of scans of the original pages, photos, fun facts, superlatives, and even a proposal!
Now I’m ready to take it even further for your festival.
