Why This Is Suwannee Hulaween's Biggest Year Yet

Suwannee Hulaween is on the verge of celebrating their fifth annual music and arts festival October 27th - 29th at the beautiful Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida. Suwannee has been a leading roll in the camping festival scene and has always been our favorite location to make home. To say the least, this park has made a historical landmark as one of the most beautiful venues on Earth.

Experience Halloween like you never have before with heavy hitting headliners including Bassnectar, Griz, Ween, and of course three notorious nights of The String Cheese Incident. Our highlighted and all time favorite acts for this year's extravaganza include Portugal. The Man, Run The Jewels, Nick Murphy (Chet Faker), The Disco Biscuits, Vince Staples, Marian Hill, Lettuce, Kamasi Washington, Beats Antique, FKJ, TAUK, Keys N Krates, The Polish Ambassador, Tokimonsta, The Nth Power, Phantoms, along with many more.

Music is only the tip of the iceberg when referring to Hulaween. This October is your chance to find yourself throughout 800 acres of Spanish moss-draped oak and huge cypress trees among a forest filled with nature trails, tree houses, bat houses, disc golf, and even a Suwannee River beach area ALL in a full immersive natural music venue setting. 

Another major attraction that will catch your vibe is Spirit Lake. Spirit Lake is a visual arts frenzy that accommodates all your senses with art installations, exceptional lighting, performance art, two performance stages, and late night Silent Disco that will keep you grooving until the sun comes up. This section of Hulaween is an essential part of your experience as the Southeast's most talented lighting engineers, fire / metal workers, sculptors, painters, and performance artists come together to create a dream like state .

If you're interested in being directly involved in Suwannee Hulaween this year there are amazing activities such as dance, flow, yoga, meditation workshops, Recycle Rewards Green Team, Kyle's Craft Brew Corner, and a volunteer work exchange team.

Now because Hulaween is the most successful event this park has ever seen, it's very important to start thinking about your arrival time. Most attendees will be arriving on Thursday October 26th which will include a Pre-Party get down with artists like Joe Russo's Almost Dead, Greensky Bluegrass, Liquid Stranger, Zach Deputy, Lettuce, Protohype, and plenty more to fulfill your Halloween dreams.
