On paper, there was no reason to expect Okeechobee Music Festival would be the resounding success it turned out to be: Although Florida has long played host to music festivals catering to niche markets, such as the electronic hedonists of Miami’s Ultra Music Festival or the crusty punks of Gainesville’s very own The Fest, Florida had yet to host an outdoor festival of the size, scale and broad appeal of Okeechobee.

Now you’re left with your only reliable friend: Tinder. What better way to get a date than with a little liquid courage? But please, put away the drunk goggles or you might get catfished.
