SPECIAL EVENTS
Long after the playa fires have died, the flame burns on inside us all. To fan those flames year round, Burners around the world produce events that bring Burners together in the same spirit of creativity, eccentricity, and community as we do on the playa.
What Are Special Events?
It is, at its simplest, a reunion. It's an opportunity to dust off and share again playa art, performances, theme camps, photos, videos and stories from the playa; to re-connect with family and friends; and collaborate to create new art. And it is one of the more powerful ways many of us bring some of what is so inspiring about Burning Man to our cities and communities the rest of the year.
As it's home to the most Burners per capita, the Bay Area boasts the most Burner events anywhere. Get the full details on the next upcoming event!
Check out the full listing of Bay Area events for Burners for this year ... and plan ahead.
Burning Man's Regional groups produce a variety of events and activities throughout the year for their Burner community. Find the next event nearest you, and experience Burning Man culture in your back yard.
Want to get inspired? The best way (short of huffing playa dust) is to rummage through the archives of previous events.
