It is quite a challenge to stand out in today’s festival landscape, but with the inaugural event this past spring, the Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival did just that and more. From legendary performances at the first ever PoWoW! (featuring Arcade Fire’s Win Butler, Miguel, Hall & Oates’ John Oates, Mumford & Sons, Skrillex, Mac Miller, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and more), to signature venues like the lakeside sandy beach of Aquachobee, and the otherworldly confines of Jungle 51 hidden within a forest of luminescent trees, Okeechobee wowed a sold-out gathering of open-minded music fans with a weekend worthy of its position as the first major event of the music festival season.
