The experience
Last time around (2026)
The 13th Suwannee Hulaween ran October 22 to 25 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, with The String Cheese Incident hosting. Thursday was headlined by Excision at The Meadow. Friday brought two String Cheese sets, with My Morning Jacket and STS9 headlining the night, alongside Lettuce at the Hallows Stage and an improvisational electronic jam by EOTO and Friends at Spirit Lake. The festival was described as an experience of unity and celebration set among mossy oak trees, and Saturday's String Cheese set was billed as a Warren Haynes Incident featuring Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers Band songs.
What's special
Held every Halloween weekend at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, Hulaween pairs a jam- and electronic-leaning lineup (with The String Cheese Incident as recurring hosts) with elaborate art installations, a lantern-lit Spirit Lake area, costumes and late-night 'renegade' campsite sets. The park is laid out like a donut, with stages and art in the center ringed by first-come, first-served camping among live oaks and near the Suwannee River. Long-time attendees treat it as a yearly homecoming and frequently call the venue one of the best festival grounds in the country.
What people love
The Suwannee setting and its camping culture draw the warmest praise: veterans describe leaving valuables out for years without anything going missing, and the riverside live-oak grounds, Spirit Lake art and self-built campsite community are recurring highlights. Attendees prize the immersive art, the late-night secret sets and a friendly, look-out-for-each-other crowd, and many rank it their favorite festival of the year despite rising prices.
