Why Suwannee Hulaween Is Your New Favorite Festival

Suwannee Hulaween is hosted annually at the breathtaking Spirit of Suwannee Music Park located in Live Oak, Florida. Hulaween is an extremely special weekend celebrating love, music, art, unity and our favorite holiday of the year, Halloween! The nationally recognized festival is taking place on October 28th - October 30th, 2016 along with a HUGE pre-party planned on Thursday October 27th.

This will be Hulaween's fourth annual event held at Spirit of Suwannee Music Park after moving from Hampton, Virginia. The historical grounds Hulaween is held on is nothing short of a magical setting. You see, Suwannee hosts a number of festivals year round including Wanee, Purple Hatter's Ball and many more that continue to bring the Florida community and music lovers around the nation together.

From our many experiences at Suwannee, Hulaween has been the most successful and highest growing festival this park has ever seen! Last year's number nearly tripled previous years with over 21,000 attendees and some of the biggest acts this side of Florida has ever seen.

Suwannee Hulaween 2016 has such an extraordinary lineup, it's hard for us to wrap our head around. Headliners for this year's Halloween party include My Morning Jacket, Disclosure, Logic, and MULTIPLE sets from The String Cheese Incident all weekend long. This doesn't even come close to the amount of talent coming your way. Here are a few of our all time favorite acts performing this year such as Umphrey's McGee, Big Gigantic, Rebelution, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Washed Out, Oh Wonder, Lettuce, STS9, The Heavy Pets, Charles Bradley, The Motet, Snarky Puppy and many many more. Can you say Logic / Big Gigantic collab during "All Of Me"?

This unique festival also brings art to life with live installations located throughout the camping grounds, Spirit Lake, and even staging. We were lucky enough to attend Hulaween for ONE DAY last year and let us tell you right now, this festival without a doubt will be your new all time favorite!

There's something about simply kicking it on these beautiful grounds. Maybe it's the 800-acres covered in Spanish moss, oak, and cypress trees that makes Spirit of Suwannee Music Park one of the most gorgeous places on Earth. It can also be the experience Spirit Lake brings to the table. Spirit Lake is a designated area that merges the benefits of camping, live music, and art all in one. You can find live installations, pyrotechnics, performance art, creative space, and two stages that encourages festival goers to interact and work with one another to make the best experience possible. 

What really makes Hulaween what it is today is the combination of ALL these attributes as well as their central THEME! Each year Hulaween introduces a theme for The String Cheese Incident's Saturday performance that motivates the audience to dress the part making your Halloween even more of a memorable experience. This year Hulaween JUST revealed the "Stringier Things" theme which celebrates 1980s music, costumes, and pays homage to the recent Netflix series phenomenon, Stranger Things. Past Hulaween themes include Voodoo in 2013, The Afterlife in 2014, and Ghoul Train in 2015.
