Sabrina & RadioMichael7 at Suwannee Hulaween 2023
October 26th-29th at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park - Live Oak, FL
"To say this will be a Hula to remember would be the biggest understatement of the year..."
Where back from Hulaween 2023 and BOY do we have some stories!
After 4 wonderful days and nights filled with music, friends, and pure magic, how can we possibly come back to real life? Hulaween did NOT disappoint this year. As always, it was everything we could ask for really.
We started out our weekend by reuniting with old friends, setting up camp, and planning our show schedule for the day. Cell reception wasn't on our side this weekend, yet somehow we always ended up exactly where we needed to be. I do have to say, this was one of the more warmer Hulaween weekends compared to past fests and you can absolutely tell Hula sold out this year. Hundreds of people flooded in to the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park to enjoy the near perfect lineup and I 100% have some honorable mentions...
Big Wild is one of our favorites and you better believe we were there the entire set. In addition, ALL String Cheese performances led to dancing uncontrollably with total strangers. Speaking of dancing, Mt. Joy had us jumping around with tears of.. well... JOY! RM7 enjoyed his opportunity to hang out with the band Couch before they dropped their new EP. Finally, I can't forget to mention Lettuce, Blu DeTiger, Goose, The Dip, and Young Bae.
But who stole the show IMO?
PRETTY. LIGHTS.
RM7 always talks about how fun it was to see P.L. when they toured last 10 years ago, so expectations were high. There is no question that BOTH sets we're entirely worth the wait and was quite the experience. One can only hope they stick around for a while just in case they decide to take another decade long hiatus.
So all in all, thank you SO SO much Hulaween for another incredible year. We love you and miss you already .
