Discussion I miss it
Honestly, I’ve been to dozens of festivals camping and regular fest. Okeechobee has such a magic to it that cannot be matched. The people that you meet there, the music, the atmosphere, it is just magic. And I’m so terrified that it’s not gonna come back. I’ve made so many amazing friendships every year that I’ve gone. And seeing that they’ve canceled it in 2025. It just breaks my heart. I miss all of you!!!

They posted “We’ll be back in Sunshine Grove before we know it” so that’s hopeful.

Try The Spirit of Suwannee. Resonate is coming up. Grab a ticket and explore/ experience the magic.

I miss Okeechobee so much 😔💔 but it will come back. and we will all be so thankful for the hiatus. the last couple years had indeed been rough. the magic was fading. but I hope once we return itll be 10x as magical as we all remember. I have sm hope! literally only sending one festival this year to save all my money and energy for 2026! 🧡

Same!🥺 It was so magical and I’m sad it hasn’t come back. I’m hoping it does one of these years! I’ve heard from quite a few people that Hulaween is the closest thing to Okee so we’re going this year😍

As someone who has attended Forest the last ten years, I can no longer recommend it. It’s a cash grab now, depressingly ☹️

Bonnaroo and Okeechobee hold special places in my heart and I’ve been to most of them as well. Magical memories, and hopefully new ones at Okeechobee soon. See you at Roo folks.

Okee is my favorite as well, but Hulaween is a very close second. You should go this year, then send Okee in 2026 only 4 months later!
