Top Tips for Suwannee Hulaween 2019

Primitive Car Options

In order to reduce congestion in the camping areas, Suwannee Hulaween has limited the number of cars entering the campgrounds by implementing a Primitive Car Pass. A Primitive Car Pass enables one to camp next to his or her car in the primitive campgrounds. Upon exiting the box office, you will be directed to the primitive camping area. All primitive campsites are first come, first serve. Each site will accommodate a tent and a standard size vehicle. All personal items, including your vehicle, must fit within the perimeter of your campsite.

Primitive Car Passes do not guarantee that attendees can camp in any specific area of the Park, once an area has filled to capacity, guests will be directed to the next available Primitive Camping Area. You will not be allowed to rope off areas or reserve additional sites. If you wish to camp next to your friends, please be sure to arrive together!

There will be Primitive Car Passes available at the box office for purchase while quantities allow. GA and VIP guests who do not wish to pay for a Primitive Car Pass can pay to park their car in the outer lots and take the shuttle to the campground.

All vehicles entering festival grounds are subject to search by festival security at any time. If you do not wish to have your vehicle searched, you may leave the Park immediately with no refund.

2.No Vehicle Re-entry Starting 8 am Thursday (10/24/19)

To ensure the safety of all patrons at the event, there will be a strict no re-entry policy starting Thursday, October 24th at 8 am. All vehicles leaving the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park ® after that time will be required to park in the outer lot upon re-entry, and will not be allowed re-entry into the festival campgrounds until Sunday at 8 pm. We encourage festival goers to check out the Park’s Country (general store), or to utilize the local Walmart shuttle for all last minute festival needs.

Be Mindful of Your Costume

If you plan to celebrate by dressing up in costume at this year’s Hulaween, consider the impact your decision might have on patrons at the event. If your costume is racially, ethnically, or culturally based, ask yourself why you are choosing to wear that costume. What message are you sending about the culture you’re portraying? What is your intent by wearing that costume, and what might the impact be on others? If you are not a member of a culture, we strongly encourage you do not dress as one. Please consider picking a different costume so as to respect and be inclusive toward all of the amazing cultures in attendance at Hulaween. Indecent exposure is illegal.

Please Note: Weapons of any kind (real, toy, costume or otherwise) are not permitted in the Park. EVER
