The Genres stemmed from a variety of Rock music, Independent music, Hip hop & Electronic dance. Something for everyone must have been the motto of the creators of this wondrous gathering.

Words and photos don’t really do the performances justice. There are rises, breakdowns and drops. One is taken on a journey that goes out and brings the music all in. People come from all realms of the world and gather to make memories and friends that will last a lifetime. I am happy to share with you and be a part of this euphoric event. The purpose of this photo recap was not just to provide photo journalism, but rather as best we could share with our audience our creative or at least expressive love for the art in festivals. I hope you have enjoyed our voyage through the portal of Okeechobeefest 2017.
