Suwannee Spring Reunion will return to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in March 2026 to kick off spring festival season in Live Oak, FL. Organizers have announced the lineup for the eighth annual festival, set for March 19th–22nd, topped by Larkin Poe, Steep Canyon Rangers, Keller & The Keels, and Sam Grisman Project [get tickets].

Next year’s festival will include many SSR veterans, including Jerry Douglas, four days of Donna the Buffalo, Jim Lauderdale & The Game Changers, and Peter Rowan with Sam Grisman Project celebrating Old & In The Way. The festival will also bring Shawn Camp, SCYTHIAN, Grateful Dead Hour host and singer-songwriter David Gans, The Fretliners, Jon Stickley Trio, Verlon Thompson, Hattie & Joe Craven Quartert, The Grass Is Dead, Mosier Brothers Band, artist-at-large John Mailander (Bruce Hornsby), Chatham Rabbits, Kindred Valley, Amelia Day, Roy Book Binder, Nikki Talley Band, and many more to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park.

“It excites me to bring a wide selection of new artists to our Suwannee Spring Reunion line-up, along with some favorites we have not seen in a while!” Festival director Beth Judy said in a statement. “Many cherished performers who have long been a part of our Suwannee Family round out the roster in keeping with the spirit of our yearly reunion, which kicks off the spring festival season. There is truly something for everyone!”

Many of these acts will play multiple sets across several stages, including the park’s famed Amphitheater Stage (renamed Big Cosmo’s Amphitheater for the weekend in honor of late festival co-founder Randy Judy, aka Big Cosmo), The Dance Tent, Music Hall, and the Music Farmers Stage at The Back Porch. The communal, family-friendly spirit of Suwannee Spring Reunion will kindle collaborations throughout the park, and everyone is encouraged to bring their instruments. Fans are invited to join the campground pickin’ parties at Slopryland—hosted by Sloppy Joe—and the Bill Monroe Shrine, hosted by Quartermoon.

The 800-acre Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park affords plenty of additional daytime recreations, including swimming, canoeing, kayaking, yoga, disc golf, kids’ stages and activities, and more. While some will jump at the opportunity of an all-night pickin’ party, the festival knows that’s not for everyone, and has specific camping areas set aside for those who value their quiet time. The site also houses a general store, full-service restaurant, free showers, indoor bathrooms, and water stations. Those seeking an elevated experience can purchase RV hook-ups, cabin rentals, and golf cart rentals by calling the park office at (386) 364­-1683.
