Our Story

An idea was born

The ‘Backyard Skull Festival’ was founded in 2022. The idea for this festival was shaped during the COVID-19 pandemic as private gatherings were allowed again but public events were still restricted. The goal was to create an immersive festival event as close to a real festival as possible for family and friends.
