Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival Returns To Sunshine Grove For 10th Anniversary (Exclusive)

After first launching at southern Florida’s Sunshine Grove 10 years ago, Okeechobee (located in Okeechobee County) is celebrating its 10th anniversary March 19-22, 2026. While the lineup has yet to be announced, Okeechobee’s organizers promise it will incorporate a mix of electronic, rock, hip-hop, indie and more. The site offers 850+ acres of grasslands, pine, lakes and waterways for a unique landscape.

“The band is back together! It’s a privilege to be curating OMF’s 10-year reunion since our first festival in March 2016,” Okeechobee Founder and Soundslinger Chairman, Rechulski, said in a statement. “OMF Has always been about more than just music – it’s a celebration of creative expression in all its forms providing a safe space for the freaks that we all are. OMF is an event where art for all senses occurs. From music to sculptures, graphics and food, you can feel the art. We are beyond excited to be working with the world-renowned 1960s authentic festival poster artist and I wish I could tell you more, but some things are better kept a surprise!”

Talent bookers Ben Baruch and Dave Niedbalski added, “It’s a true honor to return to Okeechobee after helping lay its foundation. This festival has always been a place where music, art and community come together in the most powerful and inspiring ways. From 2026, our focus is on bringing back the magic of those early years – with a diverse, multi-genre lineup and unforgettable moments, collaborations and experiences that tap into the roots of what made Okeechobee so special from the very beginning.”

The festival’s last edition took place in 2023, with performances by Excision, ODESZA, GRiZ, Goose and Baby Keem.

“We are incredibly proud to once again bring together tens of thousands of music fans from across Florida and beyond, offering an unparalleled camping and music experience that reconnects us with nature,” OMF Executive Producer for the festival in 2026, Alyssa Richardson, said in a statement. “For the 2026 reunion, we’re creating and maximizing ‘only at Okeechobee’ experiences – from unforgettable music performances to immersive experiences and exciting surprises. By combining fan favorites from past years with innovative new concepts, we’re crafting an event that we believe will be truly unforgettable.”

In addition to announcing their return after a two-year hiatus, the festival unveiled a new campground for returning fans. “Today, more than ever, it’s essential to authentically connect with fans and ensure their voices are heard,” Marketing Director Grace Judy said in a statement. “To foster these ongoing conversations, we recently launched the OMF Discord channel – our community’s new ‘home away from home.’ In celebration of our 10-year reunion to Sunshine Grove, we’ve also created a new campground in close proximity to the venue called the ‘Okee OG Campgrounds,’ dedicated to our returning fans who want to camp in the center of the action.”
