The experience
What's special
Purple Hatter's Ball was an intimate benefit festival held each summer at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in North Florida, staged in memory of Rachel Morningstar Hoffman with proceeds going to charity. Blending jam bands with electronic, livetronica and downtempo acts alongside live art, yoga and workshops, it was known for a close-knit, cause-driven atmosphere and the oak-shaded amphitheater and camping grounds of the park
What people love
Attendees remembered Purple Hatter's Ball as one of the most special small festivals they had experienced, singling out the beauty of the Spirit of the Suwannee grounds and camping, the quality and curation of the music, the visionary artwork, and an unusually warm, welcoming crowd drawn together by the event's cause
