Hulaween update: No current burn ban in Suwannee County — fires may be allowed
A festival-goer on r/hulaween reported today (Sept. 29, 2025) that Suwannee County does not currently have an active burn ban. The post notes that campfires and fire pits are a big part of late nights at Hulaween, and while the county status is clear, Suwannee River State Park will make the final call—so flames may be allowed, but nothing is official yet.
What to watch
- Official word from Suwannee River State Park and Hulaween organizers — they get the final say.
- Local burn ban notices from Suwannee County or the state forestry service.
- Weather and wind conditions; authorities can restrict fires rapidly if conditions change.
If fires are allowed — quick festival tips
- Stick strictly to designated fire pits or rings; don’t improvise fires in camp areas.
- Keep fires small, attended, and fully extinguished with water before leaving or sleeping.
- Have water, a shovel, or an extinguisher nearby; never leave a fire unattended.
- Follow all park and festival staff instructions — they’ll post rules if fires are permitted.
- Bring alternatives: a small propane camp stove or battery lanterns for light and warmth if fires end up restricted.
- Respect Leave No Trace — pack out trash and ash and leave the site as you found it.
We’ll monitor official channels and the Hulaween community for confirmation. Treat this as a developing story until the park posts formal guidance.
