“We were hopeful that music lovers were ready to attend a safe, socially distanced festival but we truly had no idea how overwhelming the enthusiasm for Suwannee Rising would be,” explained festival producer Paul Levine. “Although I’ve been planning festivals for more than 20 years, Covid has introduced a whole new level of challenges, one being that we have to limit the size of the gathering. We are not able to accommodate additional guests at Rising, but we were able to get creative and book a second show for fans with equally talented artists.”
P.O.D.S. (Personal Outdoor Dance Space) for Suwannee Surprise are on sale now here. All sets will be hosted on two side-by-side stages with ample video screens. Each P.O.D.S. includes four weekend tickets and primitive camping. Those who purchase P.O.D.S. can buy spots for two additional festivalgoers for a maximum of six attendees per pod. Masks will be required when festivalgoers are outside of their P.O.D.S.
