About
Electric Forest is a music and arts festival held in the Sherwood Forest at Double JJ Resort in Rothbury, Michigan. The festival is defined by its extraordinary setting — a forest illuminated with custom lighting installations, interactive art, and projection-mapped trees that create a surreal, fairy-tale atmosphere after dark. The lineup focuses on electronic music, jam bands, and indie, with Cheese (The String Cheese Incident) as the festival's founding resident act. Electric Forest's devoted community — known as 'Forest Family' — values inclusivity, creativity, and connection, making it one of the most unique and beloved festival cultures in America.
