Come early August, the summer fun usually starts to die down here in Tallahassee. Final exams are just around the corner; students find themselves spending night and day in Club Stroz, cramming for their big test; the weather becomes unbearably hot.
At least, that's how summer usually ends. This year, though, students with a bit more free time on their hands have a new option: the 311 Pow Wow Festival at the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak.
Just an hour outside of campus, the event features performances from student favorites 311, Sublime with Rome, The Deftones, MURS, G. Love, SOJA, Mix Master Mike, Reel Big Fish, The Supervillains, The Dirty Heads, Ozomatli and many more.
Like a reggae-based version of the ever-popular Ultra Music Festival in Miami, the performances last for three straight days with two stages performing each night. 311, the headliner and festival organizer, will be performing on both Friday and Saturday, with two sets each night, including their first-ever performance of their hit 1997 album Transistor in its entirety.
Held in a 500-acre park and campground, the festival also offers a wide variety of activities for those looking to go beyond the music. The grounds include areas for camping, hiking, canoeing, bird watching, jogging, putt putt golf and pro-quality disc golf, a honey bee observation exhibit, rental cabins, electric and water sites, showers and bath houses, a full service restaurant, golf cart rentals, an Arts and Crafts Village, Country Store and more.
Bringing a hammock is always an option, as well, for those who just want to put their feet up and relax to the quiet sounds of nature.
