Why Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival Is An Absolute Must

Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival, what we consider to be the most anticipated event of the year is officially underway with their second annual celebration March 2nd - 5th, 2017.

With so many events of so many genres to choose from nowadays, it gets a bit tricky to pick and choose where your next move is going to be. Let us tell you right now, Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival is not only your next go-to but home base itself.
