7 Spellbinding Reasons to Hit Suwannee Hulaween 2025
October 30 – November 2 | Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park | Live Oak, FL

Hulaween is BACK, baby and for its 12th annual throwdown, this legendary Florida fest is conjuring up a lineup so stacked it’s practically supernatural. If you needed a sign to dance under the Spanish moss with the HulaFam again (or for the first time), this is it.

Here’s why you absolutely can’t miss it:

1. The Lineup Is an Absolute Monster
From jam icons The String Cheese Incident, Goose (double sets!), and The Disco Biscuits (also 2x!) to EDM titans like ILLENIUM, Zeds Dead, and the explosive debut of LSZEE (CloZee + LSDREAM), Hula is covering every sonic dimension.

2. DJ Pee .Wee Brings Anderson .Paak’s Groove to the Decks
Yes, that Anderson .Paak. He’s bringing his alter ego DJ Pee .Wee to Hula for a rare DJ set you don’t want to miss. Expect vibes. Expect funk. Expect fire.

3. Spirit Lake = Art, Fire, and Pure Magic
Where else can you wander through trippy projection-mapped forests, interactive art, and late-night beats surrounded by surreal sculptures and fire-spewing installations? Spirit Lake is Hulaween’s beating heart and it never sleeps.

4. OFF LIMITS Stage Is Back & Badder Than Ever
After a legendary debut, OFF LIMITS returns with underground heat curated by DEF, Funktion-One sound, and mind-melting fire FX from Incendia. Last year it popped OFF. This year, it’s gonna explode.

5. Multi-Genre Mayhem Means There’s Something for Everyone
Catch electro-funk from Franc Moody, jazzy hip-hop legends Digable Planets, bluegrass jams with The Infamous Stringdusters + Sierra Hull, and genre-twisters like moe., BLOND:ISH, Peekaboo, and Dr. Fresch. You’ll go from banjos to bass drops in a single stroll.

6. The Setting Is Straight-Up Enchanted
The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park is like nowhere else: moss-draped oaks, riverside campgrounds, and a vibe that’s equal parts spooky and serene. It’s not just a venue. It’s an experience.

7. The HulaFam Is Real — And You Belong Here
Whether you’re a fest vet or Hula first-timer, there’s something electric about this community. Costumes, creativity and connection, Hulaween creates a festival family unlike anything else.

Don’t sleep on this supernatural lineup. Come see why Hulaween is Florida’s most magical gathering where music, art, and Halloween vibes collide in one epic celebration.

Set across from the restored rainbow crosswalk, this Ocean Drive favorite is once again becoming the heart of Miami Beach Pride.

April 8, 2026

As Miami Beach Pride 2026 returns to Ocean Drive this April, Palace Bar Miami Beach is once again set to be one of the biggest centers of the celebration. Known for its drag shows, open-air dining, and longtime place in South Florida’s LGBTQ+ community, Palace will host a full schedule of Pride Week events while standing directly across from one of the most meaningful new symbols of the weekend: the restored rainbow crosswalk in Miami Beach.

On Friday, April 10, the City of Miami Beach will unveil the rebuilt LGBTQIA+ rainbow crosswalk in Lummus Park, just steps from the Palace on Ocean Drive. The installation was recreated using 3,606 salvaged pavers from the original 2009 crosswalk, giving the city a renewed and permanent symbol of LGBTQ+ visibility, unity, and pride. Its location across from the Palace makes the venue a natural backdrop for one of the most talked-about moments of Miami Beach Pride 2026.

That visibility is nothing new for Palace. Owned by Tom Donall, a co-founder of Miami Beach Pride, Palace has spent nearly four decades building its reputation as one of the most iconic LGBTQ+ venues in Miami Beach. For locals and visitors alike, it has become a go-to destination for drag entertainment, brunch, nightlife, and community on Ocean Drive.

This year’s Palace Bar Miami Beach Pride lineup runs from April 8 through April 12 and includes some of the week’s biggest events. The schedule features the Miami Beach Pride Pageant on April 8, the Haus of Gucci Ball on April 10, and a full weekend of brunches, rooftop events, performances, and DJ sets from Oscar Velasquez and Jrny. Pride weekend will close on Sunday, April 12, with a major final celebration featuring DJ Dani Brasil and appearances by RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Jimbo and Trinity the Tuck.
