A quick snap from downtown Denver caught a Subaru Outback idling at dusk with a Colorado license plate that reads “CAAAARL.” It’s the little easter eggs — custom plates and road-ready rigs — that make festival parking lots feel like their own community before you even step foot on site.
That Outback is textbook fester material: reliable, roomy and unmistakably ready for a weekend away. Spotting something like this on the street is a reminder that festival culture starts the moment the road trip begins — folks bring personality, utility and a few quirks that double as instant conversation starters at camp.
Why this matters to festival-goers
Custom plates and festival-ready vehicles are more than photo ops — they’re part of how communities find each other. If you’re rolling into a festival this season, a few small moves make you easier to spot and help keep the good vibes rolling.
- Mark your camp car with a flag, string lights or a unique strap — makes meeting up so much quicker.
- Keep your ride road-ready: basic roadside kit, spare fluids and secure roof storage.
- Be friendly on the road — a wave and a good playlist go a long way.
Seen a memorable festival rig while out and about? We’ll keep an eye out too. Safe travels and see you on the road — the Forest starts well before the gates open.
