Okeechobee 2017 || ChobeeWobee Village Returns & Expands

Carlos Lopez
Okeechobee ChobeeWobee

ChobeeWobee Village will be making a reappearance in the portal and has undergone some evolutions for Okeechobee this year!


Considered the cultural nexus of Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival, ChobeeWobee Village (schedule) provides a place to mingle, wander, explore, stretch, and relax among a myriad of carefully crafted (and curated) curiosities. Co-Curated by Kulturehaus, the village is home to Yogachobee, The Earth Arts Academy and the Healing Sanctuary (schedule). All three have their own mind-expanding programming which is sure to stretch the body and soul while polishing up one’s survival skills. Roving jugglers, performers, fire-spinners and rogue parades will weave together the late night surreal tapestry and entice you to let go and play. Finally, ChobeeWobee Village is also the festival’s arts, crafts, and non-profits agora – a vibrant market where trinkets, accessories, clothes, and world saving ideas are abundant for festival participants.

Complete ticketing details and payment plans can be accessed by clicking here!

It’s a wonderful opportunity to work with Soundslinger as they blaze their own path creating Chobeewobee Village as a beacon of light in a crowded festival market.

– Tyler Hanson, Founder of Kulturehaus

A place where technology meets art and is shared with everyone

Android Jones’ Microdose VR, Shrine, and other artists interactive workshops are sure to unleash one’s creative spirit animal. At the Make Art Shrine, aspiring artists and creative festival goers of all kinds can learn directly from Okeechobee’s visual artists in an intimate workshop setting. The Microdose VR combines art, music, and dance into a real-time virtual reality gaming experience, that empowers creativity in people of all ages, and defines a new medium of artistic expression never before possible. At OMF17, Microdose, the VR experience, will be available for fans to explore and engage. The visuals of the VR will be projected onto a 120′ peacock water fountain that will be in the middle of Aquachobee Lake, allowing anyone to take control and share their VR experience with everyone else seated at the beach.

The roof is on fire, yeah it’s pretty lit

This year The Incendia Stage, a mesmeric, interactive installation melding worlds of art, science, and design will also debut at Okeechobee this year. A must-see experience brought by geodesic structures and thermodynamic performance art will be highlighted as part of the festival’s after-hours programming. More information on Incendia, along with its various artistic and philosophical missions can be found here.

Art is a flexible medium that touches the soul and stretches the imagination

Moksha Family Arts Collective who will be revealing another gallery within the ChobeeWobee Village. Comprised of artists, musicians, technicians, and visionaries, the collective celebrates the mystery that unites us with an eclectic mix of performances by individuals and groups from the local and international communities. “Moksha” refers to the Sanskrit term for liberation and enlightenment. Moksha Family believes the arts bring us closer to cultural and spiritual freedom. More information on the Moksha Family Arts Collective can be found here.

The creative process is an alchemical one. One man’s trash is another’s treasure, and at Okeechobee we celebrate that transformation, both internal and external. By reusing, re-imagining, re-purposing natural local materials and found objects, the work becomes a totem, a beacon that embodies the alchemy of creativity that transforms the meaningless into the profound. Using the five natural elements and infusing them with our creativity, the festival becomes a canvas on which to celebrate this mystical uniquely human quality, our creative spirit!

– Nikos Katasounis, OMF17 Creative Director

In the center of the village the Pavilion Palace stage will be serenaded with the beautifully haunting songs and drawings of Sorne amongst many other talented late-night performers. Charlie Smith’s fire-breathing sculptures will highlight the treetops of the Tea Lounge where you can watch acoustic performers, special guests and surprise appearances while you enjoy hammocks and games & sip freshly brewed tea.
