What is Suwannee Hulaween 2026?

Suwannee Hulaween is an annual music and camping festival at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida. The 2026 edition runs from Thursday, October 22 to Sunday, October 25. The festival's own gallery lists lineups going back to 2013, and The String Cheese Incident sits at the top of every one. Passes are sold by the promoter, Hula V3, LLC, through Front Gate Tickets.

For 2026 the official site confirms three nights of The String Cheese Incident, Pretty Lights, and Excision's Hulaween debut. The passes page promises 75+ artists on 5 stages. The full lineup is published as a poster on the official site, and the daily set times are on the official schedule page. We only list the names the festival has confirmed in text, so check the official site for the full bill.

The venue describes itself as a 500+ acre park along the Suwannee River with a music legacy going back to 1978. At Hulaween, Spirit Lake is the art zone: the festival calls it a visual arts extravaganza, with interactive art, lake-show content and photo spots. Every pass includes camping, and costumes are welcome as long as they are not police, security, fire or medical outfits and carry no fake or real weapons.

Travel & Planning Guide

Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park is at 3076 95th Drive, Live Oak, FL 32060. If you fly, the festival lists official airport shuttles from Jacksonville International (JAX), run by a third-party operator: coaches leave JAX at 12PM or 4PM on Thursday and return on Monday at 8AM or 12PM, from $45 one way or $80 round trip plus fees (hulaween.com/shuttles, checked 29 Sep 2026). Otherwise, plan to drive. GA, GA+, Mummy and Werewolf passes do not include a car or RV pass (the Witch, Goblin, Vampire and Zombie VIP packages include car passes). A Primitive Car Pass is $156.11, a Dry RV Pass (no power or water hookups) is $344.69, the VIP Car Pass is $313.96 (waitlist only) and Satellite Parking is $99.99 per vehicle (hulaween.com/passes, checked 29 Sep 2026).

Camping is not required. The official FAQ points to hotels in Live Oak and Lake City. If you stay off site, you arrange your own transport and park in the day lot for an extra daily fee, to be announced. Upgraded campsites and RV sites with hookups are booked through the Park at (386) 364-1683, or come with the VIP Goblin and Vampire packages.

First-timer tip: campgrounds open to 4-day pass holders at 8am ET on Thursday, October 22. To arrive earlier, add the Early Camping Pass ($65 per person on hulaween.com/passes, checked 29 Sep 2026; 4-day pass required), valid from 2PM on Tuesday, October 20. Primitive sites are first come, first served and you cannot hold spots for friends, so arrive together if you want to camp together. There is a strict no car re-entry policy: if you drive out, you park in the day lot when you come back. So pick up supplies before you drive in; the FAQ suggests the Walmart and Publix in Live Oak.

What to Know Before You Go

🎃
Costumes Are Welcome

The official allowed-items list says yes to costumes. The exceptions: no police, security, fire or medical costumes, and no fake or real weapons. Plastic or PVC totems (not filled) and soft-plastic flow toys are fine. LED gloves and microlights for light shows are not allowed.

🌡️
Pack for Warm Days and Cold Nights

The official FAQ says temperatures usually run from the 70s and 80s°F during the day down to the 40s and 50s at night. Pack layers, a warm hoodie or jacket, clean socks, bug spray, sunscreen and a headlamp for the walk back to camp.

🎒
Know the Bag Rules

Hulaween has a clear bag policy. Fanny packs up to 16.5 x 6.5 x 4 in and single-pocket drawstring bags or hydration packs up to 13 x 13 x 15 in do not need to be clear. Anything bigger must be clear. Bags are searched, everyone walks through a metal detector, and coolers stay at your campsite.

💳
Bring a Card

Food and drink vendors are cashless in the festival grounds and the campgrounds, so bring a debit or credit card or a phone wallet. Merch and craft vendors take cash and cards, and there are ATMs in the park.

🚗
Plan Your Arrival

Campgrounds open to 4-day pass holders at 8am ET on Thursday. The Early Camping Pass add-on lets 4-day pass holders in from 2PM on Tuesday, October 20. Stock up before you arrive: there is a strict no car re-entry policy, so if you drive out, your car goes to the day lot when you return.

🛡️
Pace Yourself, It's Four Days

Drink water, eat real meals and rest during the day so you still have energy on Sunday. If you need help, there are medical stations around the park and medical staff at each stage, and Spirit Care at Spirit Lake offers mental health support.
