okee fam ✨
popping into the chat to let you know we’re going offline for a bit to rest & recharge after an amazing omf 26 🌀
it was a special year for us and we hope you felt all the magic, tlc, joy, and whimsy we brought to the portal
we love you soooooooo much and we hope you’re carrying your okee memories with you everyday. we sure are.
you’ll hear from us soon but, for now, okee is logging off👋🫶 ttyl xo
We celebrated 10 years of @okeechobeefest in March by getting back out there & registering voters.
The Grove was full of energy and everyone who stopped by Participation Row made a positive impact. A decade of doing this and we’ll never get tired of it – thank you Okee Fam ♥️ Let’s do it for 10 more years?
Okeechobee PoWoW rehearsals - Trust the process (the process):
- no laughter
- no creativity
- no fun
- only blood, sweat and tears.
But we managed to get through it 😜😎
This weekend was everything we’ve been dreaming of — being back together with the entire Okee fam. Seeing your smiles, your energy, and the Grove full of life again made every moment worth the wait.
We still can hardly believe the weekend is over. More than anything, we feel deep gratitude. Thank you for believing in us, for showing up with open hearts, and for bringing the kind of love, positivity, and care that makes this community so special.
When Okeechobee became independent again, we stepped into a completely new chapter — one built not on big investors, but on belief. On trust. On community. And this weekend, all of you reminded us what that really means. You reminded us that Okeechobee has always been more than a festival. It is a place where people come to connect, to celebrate, to express themselves, a place to bond, share experiences, and make memories with new and old friends.
We have also heard your feedback, and we carry it with us. But above all, we want to say thank you — for your energy, your presence, your patience, and your belief in what Okeechobee can be.
We hope you carry a piece of the Portal in your hearts, remembering the moments we shared & letting the magic of Sunshine Grove warm your lives everyday. We love you forever, Okee Fam 🫶
