On March 4th, 2016, a portal opened, and everything changed.

A world opened, manifested in our dreams, and brought to life when tens of thousands of beautiful souls converged in the magical nature paradise of Sunshine Grove.

Since then, individuals from every tradition have come together to join in the ritual that is Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival (OMF). People travel from all over to experience the community, love, and magic; OMF is a sanctuary, free from the restrictions and concerns of everyday life, where the only rule is to Be, Here, Now – to be fully present within yourself and the community, to experience the natural paradise and grassy meadowlands, secret forests, expansive groves, and picturesque lakes in the spirit of music, arts, community, and above all – pure fun and joy.

These are the reasons we created OMF. To allow every Okeechobeeing a space to be their authentic self, to cultivate kindness, respect, and community between each other and the environment we inhabit, and to reach new connections and understandings through music, rhythm, dance, and the arts. Step through the Portal and enter a corner of the universe unlike any other known, our slice of heaven on Earth, our wonderful world of Okeechobee.
