Nostalgia Haul: Years of Bonnaroo Memorabilia Unearthed
A Redditor resurfaced a stash of vintage Bonnaroo swag they thought was lost — a proper time capsule of the festival’s history. The photo shows guidebooks, maps, festival newspapers, merch tins and a stack of wristbands from different years. If you dig festival ephemera, this is the kind of haul that gives you chills.
- Bonnaroo guidebooks, adventure guides and pocket maps
- Festival newspapers (Bonnaroo Beacon)
- Tin lunchbox with Clock Tower artwork and merch tins
- Commemorative boxes (toys/cereal promos) and decks of cards
- Volunteer, GA and commemorative wristbands / lanyards from multiple years
- Promotional drawstring bag and small swag pieces
Why it matters: festival artifacts like these capture the look-and-feel of a moment — the artwork, the badge styles and the little promo items that only exist while a festival is active. For Bonnaroo historians and collectors, finds like this are a quick history lesson and a reminder of why we keep the wristbands.
Some of my goodies from years past. Found them after losing them years ago.
