Important Information to Know

The toll and box office hours run Tuesday (2:00 p.m.–12:00 a.m.), Wednesday through Saturday (8:00 a.m.–12:00 a.m.), and Sunday (8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.). If you need to pick up your tickets, plan your arrival accordingly. Venue gates open at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, and 12:00 p.m. on Sunday.

When you arrive at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, be ready to show your signed SOSMP park waiver. It is required for entry this year. Once you are in, there are medical and security teams stationed throughout the grounds to help if anything comes up. If you experience an emergency on-site, call 734-707-9440 for immediate assistance.

Like previous years’ bag policies, large bags must be clear. Smaller ones such as drawstring bags, hydration packs, and fanny packs do not have to be see-through. You can also bring one factory-sealed water bottle or an empty refillable bottle up to one gallon. This will make staying hydrated easy all weekend.

For those flying into the Jacksonville International Airport, do not forget to book your shuttle ahead of time. There are both one-way and round-trip options available, with shuttles leaving Jacksonville for Hula at 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., and returning from Hula to Jacksonville at 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m..

Lastly, let’s talk weather because it is looking like it will be an amazing weekend! Expect sunny skies with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s and chilly nights in the 40s and 50s. Pack your sweatshirts and sweatpants for those late-night sets. Bring a few cozy blankets for when you are back at camp, and you will be all set.

As the Spirit of the Suwannee comes alive once again, Hulaween 2025 is shaping up to be another unforgettable weekend of music, art, and magic. Whether you are there for the late-night sets, the mesmerizing art at Spirit Lake, or the community that makes this festival feel like home, one thing is certain: this is where memories are made. Get ready to dance through the weird and wonderful world of Hulaween!
