ELECTRIC FOREST AWAITS ITS RETURN IN 2021

Due to COVID-19, Electric Forest is compelled to cancel its 2020 edition. Although an immense amount of effort has been made to keep the existence of this magical festival alive in 2020, the proposed postponement dates of Electric Forest from June to September has been denied by the Rothbury Village Council.

The Forest Fam have been put on edge, as we await upon official word from Electric Forest. After weeks of examining the situation and inspecting different solutions to this situation, Electric Forest announces to the Forest Family, that they will reunite in 2021, as an effort to stay determined and hopeful for the safety of our community.

The official statement has been posted on the official Electric Forest site:

“Forest Family,

After weeks of discussions, input and direction from state and local authorities, and with a full focus on the safety of our community, we have made the decision to look ahead and reunite in 2021.

Sit back from your screen for a moment, close your eyes, and imagine the energy when gates finally open to celebrate the 10th chapter of Electric Forest. Imagine the moment music begins to fill the air. Imagine positive vibrations at levels we have never felt in our lifetimes. It will be an immense moment of celebration, and preparing for that energy will keep Forest HQ working tirelessly until opening day.

In times like these we are grateful to stand strong with you as the Forest Family. We are also eternally thankful to the family members who come together to create so much each year. This includes the artists, actors, builders, food and craft vendors, law enforcement, medical partners, operations teams, production teams, supply partners, and so many others who individually and collectively make Electric Forest so very special and unique.

We are stronger as a community than we are as individuals. Knowing that we will all gather again soon will remain a bright spark and a guiding light—and we will build our moment together.

With the news of this year’s cancellation due to COVID-19 comes two options for members of the Forest Family that currently hold
