Located in Live Oak, Florida, Suwannee Music Park is said to be one of the most hospitable campgrounds you’ll find in the South, if not, the country.

People leave chairs and hammocks for people in and around the Amphitheater, once they’re there, anyone’s allowed to sit in them.

If you’re wondering what to pack for this three day jam sesh, keep in mind that the temperature will drop down to the 50’s and 60’s during the night.

Veteran Creekers know it can get even colder, so be pre-warned. Be sure to bring your long johns, warm clothes and plenty of blankets. A three day pass for Bear Creek is going for $165. For more information on the festival visit www.bearcreekmusicfestival.com
