Suwannee Hulaween has revealed the 2025 Spirit Lake art programming ahead of its 12th annual celebration, marking the third consecutive year the festival has announced its visual lineup in advance. Spirit Lake remains one of the most beloved immersive art experiences across U.S. festivals, blending sculpture, projection mapping, interactive builds, performance, and stage design into an unforgettable world.
Returning to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, from Thursday, October 30 – Sunday, November 2, 2025, Hulaween will once again transform Spirit Lake into a mesmerizing playground of creativity. Alongside a stacked musical lineup featuring headlining sets from festival founders The String Cheese Incident (six sets), ILLENIUM, Glass Beams, Disco Lines, Goose (two sets), Parcels, Zeds Dead, and more, attendees can expect a weekend of both new and returning art experiences.
In May, Hulaween announced the 2025 theme for Spirit Lake’s coveted art program: The Radiant Veil – The Dance of Light and Shadow, an inspiring new concept set to transform the festival grounds like never before.
Guiding this vision is Spirit Lake’s Experience Director, Justin Bolognino, CEO of META, a company that creates multi-sensory experiences that fuse technology, design, and storytelling to ignite the human senses and spirit. Bolognino has designed dynamic artistic experiences in collaboration with artists such as Skrillex, Phish, Questlove, Porter Robinson, and St. Vincent, alongside brand partners like Google, Spotify, Samsung, and Vimeo. Gearing up for his third Hulaween edition as Experience Director, Bolognino has fortified the classic installations that fans have come to know and love while continuing to expand Spirit Lake’s imaginative universe.
Paul Kuhn aka Twelve Limbs Art Studio will bring back highly recognized sculptural pieces, including The Witch, The Ferryman, and Ogres + Rock Hands. These towering works have become landmarks of Spirit Lake and remain central to the festival’s narrative design.
Thomas Dambo returns with his iconic Spider and Pineapple Hands, while SLOPS adds The Spider’s Eggs to continue the evolving storyline. Duende Builds will also return with its eco-conscious Birdhouse Village, hand-crafted from local natural materials.
Hulaween has also unveiled the official 2025 schedule, giving fans the chance to plan their weekend of music, art, and creativity experiences in advance. Limited tickets are available here.
