Electric Forest is about the music as much as it is about the setting. The organizers curate a mind-melting array of world-famous DJs, electronic acts, and jam bands. Artists tend to thrive in the live setting, which features incredible orchestrated light shows, stage sets with mechanical blooming flowers and other surreal embellishments. Most sets are long, sweaty dance-a-thons that leave the audience clamoring for more. When it’s time to vacate, the grounds of the Double JJ never truly die down. This is owed in part to the “pulse” of the event, the Sherwood Forest.
Part art installation, part light show and part pure, unadulterated nature, the Sherwood Forest is a wooded chill zone in the day, bedecked with hammocks and art, and a living pulse of light by night. This is the enchanted forest realized. A walk amongst the trees reveals all manner of undiscovered magic, including surprise performances, interactive art displays and extravagant illuminated woodland parties. If you delight in adventure and discovery or serendipity, your excitement meter will be off the charts at Electric Forest
