New Festival Alert: Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival

The inaugural Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival will feature 80+ artists, bands, and DJs from around the globe performing across five stages just outside of Florida’s Lake Okeechobee March 4 – 6. An initial lineup for what has been billed by promoters as “Florida’s largest camping festival” will be revealed soon and is said to include “a series of once-in-a- lifetime artist collaborations” from the creative team behind Bonnaroo’s SuperJams.

Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival will be held at Florida’s Sunshine Grove, a site that features over 800 acres of pristine grasslands, clear lakes, and exotic tropical woodlands. In addition to the music, festival attractions are expected to include a white-sand lakeside-swimming beach and bar, wooded VIP camping areas, an assortment of immersive art installations and a wide array of locally sourced treats from some of Florida’s most popular food trucks, craft beer makers and artisanal purveyors. The festival will be presented by Soundslinger, LLC, a team of concert promoters and producers with credits that include helping to launch and promote Bonnaroo, Outside Lands and China’s STORM Electronic Music Festival.
