When it comes to festivals, there are few places that do it better than Suwannee. The pristine, magical music park and campground located in Live Oak, Florida is truly an oasis for music lovers and musicians alike. As we approach the 7th annual AURA Music & Arts Festival, we look forward to performances from headliners The Disco Biscuits, Thievery Corporation, and Snarky Puppy, and Turkuaz. With acts like The Werks, ALO, theNEWDEAL, and The Main Squeeze bringing the party, the weekend is sure to be of the most special.
