Every festival has music, but few have soul like Suwannee Hulaween. Held beneath the moss-draped oaks of the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, this gathering transforms Florida’s forests into a living piece of art. The combination of sound, creativity, and community makes it an experience that feels both electric and deeply human.
At Hulaween, the stages are only part of the story. Spirit Lake becomes an illuminated dreamscape filled with fire performances, interactive art, and glowing installations that invite exploration. Costumes and themes heighten the experience, turning the entire weekend into a celebration of music and imagination. You can wander from a jam session under the spanish moss to a deep house set by the lake, then share laughter by the campfire.
The lineup reflects that same spirit of variety and surprise. The String Cheese Incident anchors the event with six shows that weave improvisation and joy. Illenium, Zeds Dead, and Whethan bring massive energy for dance lovers, while DJ PeeWee, the alter ego of Anderson Paak, delivers soulful rhythm behind the decks. Live acts like Goose, Digable Planets, Parcels, and BLOND:ISH add layers of funk, hip hop, and groove that keep the weekend constantly shifting.
What makes Hula stand out is the way it blends all of these worlds together. Jam meets electronic, funk meets folk, and art meets nature. The crowd is as much a part of the experience as the performers, creating a feeling of connection that lingers long after the lights fade. People don’t just attend, they participate. Costumes, lights, fire dancers, and immersive art installations turn the park into a living canvas.
Hulaween is a moment in time where creativity, music, and community merge. Each October, Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park comes alive during Halloween, and those who make the journey know there’s nowhere else quite like it. Tickets are still ON SALE HERE!
