Founder’s Fest 2025
Founder’s Fest brought Babcock Ranch’s own story to life over two days at Founder’s Square. The finished Day 1 recap film leads this page, followed by photographs captured at the festival itself.
Two days at Founder’s Square

Selected event photographs
Project perspective
Founder’s Fest 2025 was a two-day Founder’s Square celebration of Babcock Ranch’s founding, built around a chili cook-off, live music, rides, games and family entertainment. Its scale makes it a strong example of moving from wide establishing coverage to the smaller interactions that make a community event feel personal.
The film and photographs follow that balance. They give viewers a sense of the full grounds while staying close enough to reveal the people, entertainment and traditions that made the weekend recognizable to those who attended.
For a signature annual event, the finished work needs to be useful beyond the immediate recap. It should preserve the energy of the program, support future promotion and give the client a focused visual reference for the next edition.
