Circuits in the Woods is an electronic music festival taking place in downtown Brattleboro, Vermont, on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
It features workshops, performances, and lectures from nearly 20 different artists—from electronic music pioneers as well as current musicians—and a hands-on component lovingly named "the synth petting zoo."
"We'll have many kinds of music: ambient, darkwave, power pop, synth pop, yacht-rock-jazz-pop, funky psych, psych improv, noise rock, post-rock, a space opera, and good ol' bloops and bleeps."
Circuits in the Woods is a reminder that there are as many ways to make music as there are musicians.
This festival includes artists who make music using only synthesizers and other electronic instruments.

The Green Mountain State is home to the origins of electronic music. The invention of the analog synthesizer was completed in Brattleboro. Some 60 miles north, the Synclavier was developed in White River Junction.
