Enter The Portal March 19-22, 2026... Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival is back and better than ever in 2026.

After a two-year break, The Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival is returning this spring and the festival has announced its first wave of headliners, including The Lumineers, GRiZ, FISHER, and T-Pain, with even more headliners still to be revealed.
Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival returns to Sunshine Grove, from March 19 - 22, 2026, celebrating its 10th anniversary with a diverse and multi-genre lineup that celebrates the festival’s community, tradition, and immersive spirit.
Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival is back and better than ever in 2026. This long-awaited return will feature not only an electrifying lineup, it will include the fan-favorite immersive art, and four days of pure magic under the stars at the breathtaking Sunshine Grove.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience as you dance and reconnect with the spirit of Okeechobee – because the wait is finally over!

Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival is a surreal experience, filled with multi-genre music, immersive art and transformative events, deep in the heart of Florida’s wild wilderness.
From pulsing main stages in open meadows to intimate art hidden within oak groves, Sunshine Grove unfolds as a singular, immersive world.
The Grove, enclosed in a canopy of trees, hosts the BE and NOW Stages, while the Moonlight Oasis stretches beyond with the HERE Stage, Aquachobee’s sandy shores, Jungle51, and the vibrant Chobeewobee Village.
There, locally curated food and drink, immersive art, and interactive experiences weave together beneath starlit skies, with sprawling campgrounds connecting it all into the living, breathing heart of the Okeechobee experience.

At OMF, the fun goes far beyond the music with dozens of interactive activities each day.
Dive into wild themed events at the Experience PowWoW, unwind or compete with games and beach fun at Aquachobee Beach, or let your creativity flow with painting and crafts in the Bamboo Garden. Whether you’re looking to connect, create, or cut loose, there’s something for every Okeechobeeing.
This year's lineup features a dynamic blend of genres, from electronic and indie to hip-hop, funk, and jam bands.
Headliners The Lumineers will bring their heartfelt folk-rock anthems to the main stage, with crowd favorite T-Pain bringing his infectious energy and iconic hits to the festival.
More headliners include GRiZ, a staple in the electronic-funk scene, known for blending saxophone with bass-heavy beats, and expect Fisher to bring his wild sense of humor and energetic style to the main stage, and if this was not enough headliners for your, organizers are promising even more headliners to be announced.
Other acts performing at the 4-day festival include Alison Wonderland, BigXthaPlug, BLAAP, Big Wild, Flipturn, Big Gigantic, Young the Giant, Ganja White Night, Tycho, Goth Babe, The Disco Biscuits, Gramatik, Tractorbeam, IAN, Tycho, LP Giobbi, LSDream, Rainbow Kitten Surprise and many more.

The 2026 festival will also see the return of PoWow!, which is an all-star jam session that features creative, unexpected pairings and live mashups.
Other experiences include the Junge 51 Stage, which will have extended sets from internationally known DJs from sundown to sunrise. It aims to capture the energy of a club in a jungle setting, and during the day, the area morphs into a wellness forest where attendees can participate in yoga and other mindful programming.

OMF is a living, breathing canvas where art is woven through every element—from iconic poster designs to immersive installations and live paintings.
This year, legendary artist Nigel Waymouth, known for creating posters for Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and The Who, returns after a 50-year hiatus to bring his vision to OMF 2026.
Throughout the weekend, explore large-scale installations, hidden hideaways, and watch talented painters bring The Portal to life.

Sunshine Grove unfolds across 800 acres of Florida’s heartland, where pine and palmettos surround stages and chill areas, and campers spend four days moving freely between sun-dappled meadows, sweeping grasslands, and ancient oak canopies.
Your feet sink into the sandy Aquachobee beach one moment and soft grass the next, as music drifts through the warm air, art installations emerge like dreams from the landscape, and gorgeous lakes invite you to pause, take in the views, and dive into the water.

Check out the 2026 lineup so far...

An essential part of the experience includes discovering delectable cuisines to keep you fueled up all weekend long.

OMF caters to every taste with a variety of food and beverage experiences rooted in Florida flavors. Start your day at the Farmers Market with local goods, savor elevated, chef-curated dinners in exclusive themed areas, or explore a diverse selection of dishes and drinks from local vendors throughout the festival.

In addition to the music, the art and the food, check out activations including hair braiding, masages, portal face painting, soundbaths, zap jewelry, henna tattoos, tarot card Readings, birthchart readings, and more.
