Bear Creek Next Week!

The Groove Patrol

The funk fantasia that is Bear Creek Music and Art Festival at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Fl., is almost here -- it happens Nov. 8-11.

If you like the funk, this is the place. Funk players from all over the world convene for this throw-down in the moss-draped woods, and you will see shows you will talk about for years.

It's hard to put your finger on what, exactly, makes one festival good, or even great, and another festival Epic. Bear Creek has that Epic Something. There's the smiling fest family vibe, the New Orleans joie de vivre,  the booty-shaking atmosphere everywhere you look, and the kick-ass performances.

The musicians are there to get down, the crowd is there to get down, and it's all good right there in paradise. This is what we're supposed to do in life, right?

Da Bear

All tickets include primitive camping. A 3-day pass is $165 online now. Thursday tickets cost another $50. Sunday's music lasts til 8  pm or so, and it's always a great night filled with collaborations, so plan on taking Monday off work if you can swing it.

Everybody loves the bear!
