The Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Okeechobee) is an annual music and arts festival held at the Sunshine Grove in Okeechobee, Florida. It is presented by Soundslinger.

The first Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival was held March 4–6, 2016. With artists such as Bassnectar, Skrillex, Kendrick Lamar, and Mumford & Sons, the festival drew around 32,000 attendees in its first year. The festival is produced by Soundslinger, LLC, an independent company founded by Steve Sybesma, formerly of Sunshine Promotions, Paul Peck formerly of Superfly (Bonnaroo Music Festival), and a team of producers who have presented other major festivals and countless concerts around the globe.
Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival includes a variety of camping options, a white-sand beach with lakeside bar, art installations, craft beer and food trucks. Yoga, meditation and holistic workshops are also offered. As a "camping festival", a majority of Okeechobee Music Festival-goers stay in tents or campers on the festival grounds.
Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival made musical history in its inaugural year with “PoWoW! A Live Superstar Mashup,” a collaborative concert that, united vocalist Miguel with frontman Win Butler of the band Arcade Fire along with artists from all genres and eras.
