The Portal Expands

Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival was born in 2016, bringing the best of music, art, and holistic health to our world-class location in Sunshine Grove. The tropical landscape and magical performances combined to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and with your help, we kept that feeling going strong year after year.

Times have changed, and so has Okeechobee. During a period of reflection and transition, we asked ourselves important questions, and considered how our sonic sanctuary could come back better than ever. With the input of OMF family, fans, and friends, we've refocused our energies on delivering an unparalleled experience merging immersive music, transformative art, sustainability, and the psychedelic spirit of exploration only possible among our pine and palmetto jungles.

In other words: As of 2026, Okeechobee is once again independent. But some things stay the same: Our goal is to create unforgettable musical and communal moments while preserving the natural splendor of this extraordinary location for future generations. At Okeechobee, you are celebrating the profound possibilities and harmonies that are created where music and nature meet.
