I am excited to announce that a brand new music festival will be coming to the East Coast, more specifically Florida! This brand new festival is named Okeechobee Music and Art Festival, and will be held in a similar style to Bonnaroo or Coachella. Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival 2016 will be taking place at Sunshine Grove, Florida on March 4-6, 2016. To make things more interesting, there will also be camping available at the festival, which is located at the very edge of Southern Florida. Even the teaser trailer about Sunshine Grove gets me even more ecstatic about the venue.

I don’t know about you but I’m excited to see what this new festival brings to the table. More so what the vibe will be like. Will it be similar to Swuanee Hulaween or will it be similar to Mysterland or TomorrowWorld. Only time will tell.
