Rothsbury Michigan

Electric Forest is a multi-day music and arts festival held annually in Rothbury, Michigan, usually in late June. Launched in 2011 (building on the earlier Rothbury Festival), it is known for blending electronic music, jam bands, and immersive art experiences in a magical woodland setting.

The centerpiece is the Sherwood Forest, a wooded area transformed into a glowing, interactive wonderland with LED installations, art exhibits, hammocks, hidden stages, and secret performances. Music spans EDM, house, techno, dubstep, and live improvisational acts, drawing top international DJs alongside experimental artists.

Electric Forest is more than a music festival—it’s a community experience, emphasizing creativity, sustainability, and connection. Attendees often describe it as transformational, with a strong emphasis on art, costuming, and positive vibes.

With attendance around 40,000–50,000 people, it has become one of the most iconic festivals in the U.S., combining high-energy performances with the surreal beauty of a glowing enchanted forest.
