The 10th annual installment of Purple Hatter’s Ball returns to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida June 2 – 4. The three-day music festival benefits The Rachel Morningstar Foundation (a non-profit 501c3 organization) in honor of longtime Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park friend and music festival lover Rachel Morningstar Hoffman. Organizers of the event have just detailed the initial lineup for this June’s festival.
Emancipator, Perpetual Groove and Zach Deputy are a top the list of acts revealed today. The Russ Liquid Test, Dubconscious, Roosevelt Collier Band, The Malah, MZG, Catfish Alliance, Lucidea, Trial By Stone and Juanjamon Band are also among the groups set to play Purple Hatter’s Ball ’17.

This year’s PHB will utilize three stages at the Spirit Of The Suwannee Music Park: the famed Amphitheater Stage, a Beach Stage located along the Suwannee River and the Uncle Charles Porch Stage. In addition to the music, PHB ’17 will feature live art, yoga, workshops, a silent auction and a Charity Disc Golf Tournament hosted by Zach Deputy. There will also be a culinary component for 2017 featuring food from several top chefs that will be announced at a later date.
