"Life-changing."
When it's not leaving people speechless, that's what people can be heard saying about Electric Forest.
The music and arts festival returns to West Michigan this week for the 8th year in a row, taking over the village of Rothbury for two consecutive weekends.
Tens of thousands from across the country are expected to make the trek to take part in what can be described as a 4-day, non-stop party.
Hundreds of musicians and DJs will showcase their talents across 7 stages during the festival.
Some of the top acts include: The String Cheese Incident, Bassnectar, Griz, Action Bronson Marshmello, Testpilot, Zhu and Rüfüs Du Sol.

The performers can be found prancing around the festival and can provide very unique and interesting experiences for those who partake in their games (they know festival secrets!).
