As residents of Rothbury, Michigan, we have always welcomed the Electric Forest festival into our community. Each year, we bear witness to the influx of visitors and endure weeks of increased activity and noise. In return for our hospitality, we were given Neighbor Wristbands as a token of appreciation from the festival organizers - a gracious gift that allowed us access to enjoy the full event.

However, recent changes to this program have left us feeling unheard and marginalized. The newly revised Electric Forest Neighbor Wristband Program now limits our wristbands to only one day of access. This decision has negatively impacted our community spirit and sense of involvement in an event that takes place on our doorstep.

We believe this change is unfair and unjust. We are not simply bystanders; we are integral parts of this annual celebration that brings economic benefits to Rothbury (source: Economic Impact Analysis Report). Our voices should be heard in decisions affecting such a significant part of our lives.

Therefore, we call upon the organizers of Electric Forest Festival to revise their new policy on Neighbor Wristbands. We ask for reinstatement of full-event access for all Rothbury residents as a signifier not just thanks but also respect for hosting this event in our town year after year.

Please stand with us in requesting fairness and consideration from those who benefit from our hospitality by signing this petition today!
