5 Reasons We’re Saying

“Okee” to ‘Chobee’

Organization

Okeechobee’s
organizer,
Soundslinger, is made up of executives
that have previously worked on
music festivals such as Bonnaroo and
Outside Lands, so it’s no surprise
that Okeechobee impressed the
vast majority of festivalgoers when
they were treated to short travel
times between camping and music
areas, efficient and effective security
screenings, brilliantly scheduled and
non-divisive set times, and clean
spacious campgrounds with grass
that literally cleaned your shoes for
you.

No mess

Okeechobee was one of the cleanest camping festivals in recent memory. A paved road gave
everyone easy access to the festival, but the sunny weather dried up the dew from the cool nights, which kept things
from getting muddy. The facilities were cleaned frequently throughout the day as well. Okeechobee’s volunteer
cleaning crew was exceptionally enthusiastic.
