As the effects of the pandemic have continued, it has become clear that we are not going to be able to gather in 2021 and that postponing to #EF2022 is our only course of action.

“We must balance our optimism with realism – and we must respect the process in place, the efforts underway and the sacrifices we’ve all made over the last year in an effort to keep each other safe,” organizers said in a statement.
Attendees who purchased wristbands and lodging packages will be able to get a full refund or hold onto their passes for 2022.
Electric Forest 2022 dates have yet to be announced.
“We are eternally thankful to the entire Forest Family for the patience, planning, and determination shown over the last year,” the organizers’ statement says. “Having to postpone again is a special kind of heartache, and one which will only be healed when we are together again in 2022.”
