Electronic music returns to its Vermont roots as Circuits in the Woods transforms downtown Brattleboro into a hub of sonic experimentation on Saturday, November 15, 2025.
The all-day festival spans multiple venuesโMarigold, Turn It Up!, Tavernier Chocolates, and The Wonky Pressโfeaturing more than twenty artists, two lectures, and two hands-on events. Founded by radio host Wendy M. Levy and co-produced with Eric Gagne, Joseph Conrad, and Chris Randall, the festival honors Vermontโs legacy in electronic innovationโfrom the Estey Organ Companyโs analog synth beginnings to the Synclavierโs birth in White River Junction.
Performers include Wet Tuna, Jeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders, Badweatherfriend, and Dave Seidel, with lectures by Charles Dodge and Caldon Glover-Wessel. Add a โsynth petting zoo,โ interactive performances, and a food drive for FoodWorks, and youโve got a day that blends history, creativity, and community in true Brattleboro style.
