Suwannee Roots Revival takes place Thursday, October 8, through Sunday, October 11, at the renowned Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, Florida. Fostering the longtime tradition of hosting some of the most prominent names in American roots music and beyond, this four-day family-friendly music festival includes camping, music workshops, kids’ activities, arts & crafts, and daily yoga.
Nestled in 800 acres of gorgeous Spanish moss-draped oak and cypress trees along the Suwannee River in northern Florida, Suwannee Roots Revival celebrates community-based fun, growing friendships, laughing families, and the joy you get from making memories with friends old and new.
Festival Director Beth Judy says, ”When it comes to music festivals with camping onsite, our venue, Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, is the very best. Combine that with our Suwannee Roots Revival’s rich history of amazing festivals that have created an open, loving community of people from all walks of life and ages. Add to that this compelling and exciting lineup and you’ve got the blueprint for an incredible musical adventure filled with fun, laughter and friends. I highly suggest making plans to be there if you have not already. You’ve never had such a good time!”

Suwannee Roots Revival showcases established and emerging roots musicians throughout the weekend. Many of the performers have long histories of epic Suwannee performances along with some surprise one-of-a-kind collaborations—you never know who will give a surprise sit-in on stage (or in the campgrounds, for that matter). There is an open call to play in the many campground pickin’ party sites throughout the weekend, including at Slopryland, hosted by Sloppy Joe, and the Bill Monroe Shrine, hosted by Quartermoon.
Music will be staged in a variety of areas, with many acts playing multiple times. Big Cosmo’s Amphitheater is nestled in a tree-filled natural amphitheater, adding to the magic through the beautiful setting. The Dance Tent is a fantastic spot to immerse yourself in the music and is close to the Vendor Village so you can dance, shop, and snack at the same time! The Music Hall is an excellent spot for special indoor listening experiences with stage lighting, air conditioning, and a cafe. A wide range of hands-on workshops will take place at the Music Farmers Stage at The Back Porch, which is sponsored by the festival’s nonprofit arm, Live Oak Music and Arts Foundation (LOMAF supports music and arts programs in North Florida schools, including the Suwannee Spirit Kids Music Camp.)

The Vendor Village features a diverse range of arts and crafts with a strong emphasis on original creations and unique items, as well as culinary delights ranging from healthy to decadent. Suwannee Roots Revival has a lot of fun for the little ones too! Complete with a kids area tucked accessibly into the woods near the Music Farmers Stage, with crafts, circus toys, open areas for running, and a kids parade at the end of the weekend!
The park itself is a place where children of all ages can rediscover (or discover for the first time) the wonderland of sights, sounds, and sensations that make for a weekend of musical paradise at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park.
