Entering The Portal to Okeechobee
Okeechobee Music & Art Festival 2023 is finally over, and after catching up on the needed sleep, the anticipation of next year's event starts to roll in. Once you enter the portal to Okeechobee Music Festival, you never want to leave. With this being the 6th anniversary of the event, Okeechobee Music Festival came back bigger and better than ever. The weekend consisted of amazing music, tons of activities, and a few special surprises like Griz playing a second set at the Incendia Stage with LSDream.

Activities
Besides the music, there were plenty of activities and art installations to check out all over the campground. The artistic performers helped enhance the overall environment. From starting every morning with hundreds of people doing Yoga to relaxing at a tea lounge to playing Bingo, there are always unique experiences when adventuring around Okeechobee Music Festival.

Artist Interviews
While at Okeechobee Music Festival, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sullivan King. We discussed his crazy performance at Okeechobee, his upcoming "Throne Of Blood" tour, and we talked about a few of his recent releases. Tickets are still available for his upcoming tour across the United States at sullivankingmusic.com. His new album "Thrones of Blood" will be released on March 17th and he will start his tour on March 23rd in Denver. Make sure to check out Sullivan King's Music!

Non-Profit & Vendors
While at Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival, I had the chance to stop by multiple non-profit organizations that were set up in Participation Row. This village within the festival was where volunteers encouraged festival attendees to verify their voter registration status at the "HeadCount" Tent. Some of the non-profits on Participation Row include Big Brothers Big Sisters, Helping People Succeed, and Thank You For Your Service. After visiting 4 of the 7 local non-profits, attendees were given Tony's Chocolonely chocolate and entered to win a custom D'Angelico Guitar signed by multiple festival artists like Sullivan King, Griz, and by the band "Goose". It was great seeing local Palm Beach/Okeechobee non-profit organizations being active at Okeechobee Music Festival.
