September is only a few days away, meaning spooky season is right around the corner! What better way to celebrate than by attending a Halloween-themed festival? Those looking for a mystical camping festival loaded with talent should look no further than Hulaween Music Festival. The breathtaking scenery of Spirit Of The Suwanee Music Park comes to life for four days in a unique and immersive experience of music, art, and enchantment. This year is set to be the best yet, as the Florida festival looks to kick things up a notch in celebration of its 10th anniversary this October 26-29.
Nestled halfway between Tallahassee and Jacksonville, the Spirit of the Suwannee Park is a picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by Spanish moss-draped trees and the gentle flow of the river, Hulaween creates a seamless blend of music and nature. At the heart of the festival is the magical Spirit Lake experience. Here visitors are engulfed in a sensory spectacle of captivating light displays, interactive sculptures, dazzling performers, and mesmerizing visual art. Expect major upgrades this year as the festival looks to bring its origin story to life and “weave Spirit Lake into an elegant tapestry of mini worlds.”
Each year, Hulaween commits itself to a transformational theme that infuses every corner of the festival’s decor and atmosphere. This year’s theme is Full Moon Family Reunion—unsurprisingly the Moon Fvm is thrilled! Many visitors go all out for the annual theme, bringing costumes and camp decorations. The festival is known for fostering a sense of community beyond the music stages, featuring activities like yoga, poetry, meditation, and workshops. That being said, Hulaween also knows how to party!
When it comes to music, this festival brings the heat. Hulaween features an array of diverse musical talent, with the biggest headlining DJs and jam bands all in the same place. The String Cheese Incident plays host as usual, with three nights of unique performances that will surely leave their followers in awe! It will be joined by prominent jam bands, including Trey Anastasio Band, Goose, and Joe Russo’s Almost Dead to name a few! The festival hosts indie bands like MT. JOY, rappers like Smino, and defintely has no shortage of variety when it comes to electronic music.
The artist drawing the most attention this year is legendary producer Pretty Lights, who announced this show as part of his comeback tour after a five-year hiatus. Tech-house star John Summit makes his way to the swamp— hopefully with some Johntronics head-bangers in tow. British luminary Elderbrook will provide a dynamic live performance showcasing his electronic, house, and pop influences. Another artist known for his live performances, Big Wild, will grace the stage with his blend of electronic and indie sounds. For a raw hip-hop feel and hypnotic house beats, check out songwriter, producer, and rapper Channel Tres. On the other end, Boogie T’s infectious live performance mixing dubstep, funk, and reggae influences is sure to set the stage on fire! These are just a few of the 90+ artists who encapsulate Hulaween’s ultimate genre-blending lineup.
Last year’s edition saw five official stages and the unofficial Incendia Stage, renowned for its fiery geometric design and immersive projection mapping. Though we are still waiting on news and a site map, Hulaween’s retweets point to Incendia’s return. The festival is known to surprise attendees with late-night secret sets and unexpected collaborations under the flames of this iconic stage.
Prepare yourself to be immersed in a magical realm this October at Hulaween Music Festival. A community that celebrates music, art, and togetherness awaits you. With its jaw-dropping art installations, beautiful natural scenery, and stacked lineup, Hulaween promises an experience that will leave you spellbound and yearning for more.
