ABOUT THE WISH MACHINE

The Wish Machine invites the Forest Family to commit to spreading positivity through inspirational and charitable deeds in their community in exchange for a wish granted by Electric Forest.

This call for Forest dreams has generated over 7,500 inspiring commitments through the years. These have resulted in many real-world, positive impacts including donations to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, an arts and crafts event for an Illinois Veterans home, the beautification of local walking trails, the creation of a mental health support group, and much more.

In exchange, the Wish Machine has granted everything from Wristbands to facilitating a Mario Kart tournament for charity in the campgrounds, private performances from Forest favorites and headliners, and even an Electric Forest performance slot - that helped launch a career in music!

LOOK BACK AND GET INSPIRED BY THE 2023 WISH MACHINE GRANTS

2023 WISH MACHINE GRANTEE: NICHOLAS AND THE CHICAGO CLEAN-UP CREW

In exchange for HQ granting their wish of providing Wristbands to attend Electric Forest 2023, Nicholas and his Chicago Clean-Up Crew committed to clean 11 miles of trails within the Forest Preserves of Cook County in honor of the 11th Electric Forest.

The Chicago Clean-Up crew are well on their way to meeting this goal with the help of fellow Forest Family members, having recently hosted a Forest Family clean-up day in partnership with Propeller, cleaning an additional 3 miles of the park’s trails.

HQ is thrilled to welcome Nicholas and the Chicago Clean-Up Crew to Electric Forest 2023!

2023 WISH MACHINE GRANTEE: POPPYSMIC

Poppysmic is a dynamic performer with Dollhouse Productions, a local Muskegon, MI-based entertainment group specializing in quality drag events. Dollhouse Productions provides support to the local LGBTQIA2S+ community, including fundraising for the Muskegon Pride Center and Muskegon’s Pride Parade (which just hosted its second-ever event).

Poppysmic's participation with DollHouse Productions and their commitment to supporting and uplifting the local LGBTQIA2S+ community has inspired HQ to grant her wish to perform at the Electric Forest.

Be sure to catch Poppysmic’s performance at the Electric Forest 2023 Pride Event on Sunday, June 25 at 4 PM at the Honeycomb – you won’t be able to miss it, as she performs on her iconic stilts!


2023 WISH MACHINE GRANTEE: LEONEX

Forest Family member Leonex wished to perform at Electric Forest 2023 in exchange for cleaning Wilson Woods in Mt. Vernon, NY.

Lamenting that the park was filled with trash, Leonex took action. Heading to an overlooked section of the park, Leonex filled bags of trash with an inspiring outlook and great attitude.

Proving that one person can make a big difference in their community and the public space we share, Leonex’s wish is granted with a special performance slot at Electric Forest this summer! Stay tuned for a time and date, and let's turn up!
