THE WISH MACHINE IS OPEN NOW
DARE TO DREAM BIG
The concept is simple: Perform extraordinary acts and reap extraordinary rewards. The Wish Machine invites you to share an inspirational or charitable deed you’ve done or plan to do, then cast a wish for what you’d like to experience at Electric Forest 2026.
Examples of previous wishes granted include: an HQ-produced wedding for a couple who organized a large food donation for the Conscious Alliance x Electric Forest Official Food Drive, a special meet-up on the Ranch Arena Main Stage for first-time Forest attendees dreamed up by a fan who volunteered with his local cat shelter, and even a DJ set at the Honeycomb for an artist who organized a feminine-hygiene product drive for a non-profit on International Women’s Day.
Seize the opportunity to have your wish granted by taking meaningful action. Dare to dream big with The Wish Machine… open now.
Examples of appropriate wishes:
- If I volunteer at my local animal shelter, Electric Forest will provide brunch for my campmates and me.
- If I organize a clean-up of my local nature preserve, Electric Forest will provide Wristbands for my cleanup crew!
- If I gather necessities to donate to a children’s shelter, Electric Forest will allow me to play a set at the Silent Disco.
Examples of inappropriate wishes:
- If I spread good vibes and magic, Electric Forest will give me free tickets.
- If I set up a non-profit, Electric Forest will donate $10,000 to it.
- If I am given the opportunity to perform at Electric Forest, then Electric Forest will be amazing!
Wish Granted
FIRST WISH OF 2026 GRANTED!
The Wish Machine has granted the first Wish of 2026! Casey wished for the opportunity to create and install a mural within the festival grounds in exchange for volunteering to plant trees throughout his community with the local Student Conservation Association chapter. Casey and his crew have organized their next tree planting event in Hammond, IN in May.
My wish was inspired by Wally Wojack, who planted 6" tall white pine seedlings with friends on the Double J Ranch in 1955, which became the 70+ foot towering trees of Sherwood Forest. For over five years now I have been voluntarily planting trees throughout my community with my Student Conservation Association chapter and engaging in other grassroots environmental efforts. My wish is my means of contributing to The Forest as an artist while also rewarding some of my peers and local SCA crew for the work they are doing year after year to ensure our suburban landscapes are populated with trees for generations to follow.
HQ is thrilled to showcase Casey’s mural at Electric Forest and provide passes for Casey’s tree planting crew to join him!
