A festival schedule that shows what is on right now
The day is laid out like a festival lineup. Drag the time line to any hour and the map lights up wherever something is happening, so nobody has to read the whole schedule to find the next thing.
A past event, told as history
The 2019 world record ride, 3,497 bikes in Paris, Texas
On October 5, 2019, 3,497 Harley-Davidson motorcycles rode a loop around the airfield at Cox Field and set the Guinness World Record for the largest parade of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I filmed the day. This sample turns it into the page an event like that deserves afterward: the record, the route, the day, the people who made it, and a 3D airfield where the bikes ride the loop.
A sample made by Alchema Interactive. It is not affiliated with Harley-Davidson, Guinness World Records or the organizers.
Open the sampleWhat an event website can do
An interactive event map of every stage, tent and food truck
Tap any tent on the map to see what it was. One tap filters to food and drink. Restrooms, the info tent and the nursing station are one button away.
Lets people walk the grounds in 3D
A 3D model of the venue in late afternoon light, full of people, with the band playing on the main stage. Jump buttons fly straight to each attraction, and it opens full screen.
Turns the activities into small games
Fish in the fountain, throw at the dunk tank, toss a cornhole bag. Each game is an activity from the real event, so playing it is a preview of the day.
Puts your own video everywhere
Clips from last year play beside the thing they show: the band on the stage card, the painting floor on the art contest. It is the strongest case for coming back.
Plans the visitor's day
Visitors star what they want to see, the site flags anything that overlaps, and the whole plan saves to their phone's calendar with one tap.

How it comes together
- Send what you already have. Last year's photos and video, this year's schedule and a rough list of where things go.
- The site is built around your event. The signature attractions and the landmarks people look for are placed carefully. The rest of the grounds is drawn as a faithful impression, so it never needs rebuilding when a vendor moves.
- It goes live before the event. Visitors plan their day ahead, and use it on their phones while they are there.
- It comes back next year. The schedule, the photos and the video are refreshed for each new edition.
Questions
What does an event website cost?
Event websites start at $5,000. That covers the schedule, the interactive map, the 3D walk around the grounds and your photos and video. Hosting and care are separate, and the price for the whole build comes from the quote form.
What do you need from us?
Last year's photos and video, this year's schedule, and a rough list of where things go. The site is built from what you already have.
Is the map accurate to every booth?
The stages, the main attractions and the landmarks people look for are placed carefully. The rest of the grounds is drawn as a faithful impression of the event, so the site does not need rebuilding every time a vendor moves.
Does it work on phones?
It is designed for the phone first, because that is where people check what is on next while they are standing at the event.
Can it be updated for next year?
Yes. Events come back every year, so the schedule, the photos and the video can be refreshed for each new edition.
Is the sample an official festival site?
No. It is a sample built by Alchema Interactive from Chris Yates's own video of a downtown fall festival, to show what an event website can do. The festival's official information is on the City of Paris website.
