🚨 Location Update 🚨
Electric Root Festival Has Moved!
Due to weather concerns and the possibility of sudden changes, the Electric Root Festival 2025 will now take place inside the Armstrong Student Center instead of Uptown Parks.
We’re still bringing the same energy, performances, and community vibes—just with a roof over our heads!
Stay dry and stay stoked. We’ll see you at Armstrong!
