This Is Going To Be OFF LIMITS
As excitement builds for the highly anticipated Suwannee Hulaween festival, organizers have revealed a captivating teaser video for their brand-new OFF LIMITS Stage, set to debut within the festival’s renowned immersive art area, Spirit Lake. This innovative stage promises to elevate the festival experience, allowing attendees to engage more intimately with a lineup of underground music talent.
Scheduled for October 24-28, 2024, at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, Hulaween’s OFF LIMITS Stage will feature an array of underground artists, including Azzecca, Ian Asher, Will Clarke, and Eazybaked. Designed as a 360-degree immersive experience, the stage will enhance performances with cutting-edge production elements such as pyro effects from Incendia and a high-fidelity Funktion-One sound system, ensuring fans are enveloped in both sound and spectacle.
The OFF LIMITS Stage is the result of a collaboration with DEFINE EVERYTHING FUTURE (DEF), a women-owned and led event company. Its design, crafted by Duende, features a gothic temple-inspired aesthetic complete with dark designs and stained glass windows, creating a mystical atmosphere that aligns perfectly with the festival’s spirit. The teaser video hints at a haven for “those who are lost, but not ready to be found,” inviting attendees to immerse themselves in this enchanting world.
Hulaween’s Spirit Lake has long been celebrated as one of North America’s premier immersive art experiences, showcasing the work of talented sculptors, painters, digital artists, and lighting designers. This year’s art program, themed “ESCAPED!”, will include over 40 mesmerizing installations, blending returning favorites with innovative new works. Artists such as Ian Tuma, Ashley Spereo, and Dan Shields will contribute alongside fresh installations like the magical Ciprian The Great, a large-scale fire installation by Charlie BlackCat Smith, and The Well, an interactive piece featuring mesmerizing TV displays.
The festival’s Creative Director, Justin Bolognino, is steering Spirit Lake into a new era. With a background in designing multi-sensory experiences for notable artists like Skrillex and Phish, Bolognino aims to keep pushing the boundaries of immersive art, providing a platform for up-and-coming experiential artists to showcase their work.
In addition to the OFF LIMITS Stage and vibrant art program, Hulaween’s full lineup features a blend of genres, with acts such as Bobby Weir, Black Pumas, and Chase & Status. The event continues to grow in popularity, and with limited single-day tickets and weekend passes still available, fans are encouraged to secure their spots for what promises to be a transformative festival experience.
As Hulaween prepares for its 2024 edition, attendees can expect not just incredible music but an extraordinary artistic journey, solidifying the festival’s place as a must-attend event for music and art lovers alike.
