Why Suwannee Hulaween Will Live Forever

Suwannee Hulaween took on their sixth annual celebration at the breathtaking Spirit of Suwannee Music Park like champions last week in Live Oak, Florida. Being the second year, this event has completely sold out, we are truly honored to have witnessed and be a part of a very special culture that we guarantee you is going to last forever.

Silver Wrapper, Suwannee Park, and Purple Hat Productions have continued to come together to provide one of the most eclectic musically inclined lineups each and every year. The nature of the park itself, provides such a unique energy that is made for infinite amounts of fun offering tons of activities such as the Suwannee River Beach, nature trails, canoes, mother nature tree house, disc golf, golf cart rentals, all in 800-acres of a Spanish moss-draped oak filled forest.

This year we were beyond blessed with another seven whopping sets of The String Cheese Incident, and diverse sets from world-renowned artists such as Jamiroquai, Odesza, Janelle Monae, STS9, The Revivalists, Vulfpeck, Dr. Dog, Yonder Mountain String Band, Stephen Marley, The Wood Brothers, along with so many more it gets hard to count.

It’s somewhat of a universal location where all types of people come together to simply celebrate life in a safe party fashioned manner. As an avid Suwannee attendee, we are beyond honored to have been part of the media team for the third year in a row and share our experiences.

Now, what makes Hulaween so special? Well, it’s the people of course. Aside from heart warming art installations and life guiding music, Hulaween offers a very unique and more adult-like crowd where everyone is willing to contribute and most importantly role play their Halloween personas!
