Happenings

2024 brings optimism and fun with the themes we've chosen for events coming up this year. If you look at what we did in 2023, you will see we do much more than the four official regional events - Burn2 Burners love any excuse to have FUN together! You can see what we're planning and what we've already done, below.

Mark your calendar and watch for event signups to join in - as an artist, a performer, or a participant - you won't be a bystander in any case!

Burn2's Events and Themes in 2025

We have the dates for Burn2's events in 2025!

We will be calling for themes for Burnal Equinox and Conception. Our planning meetings are held 9pm SLT on Thursday evenings and 9am Sunday mornings.

Winter Burn

January 24-26, 2025
Theme: Aurora Mystica: Lights of Connection

Inspired by the Northern Lights, this theme celebrates unity, connection, and the magic of shared experiences. Like the auroras, individual contributions blend to create a magnificent whole. The focus is on how individual creativity and energy come together to form a collective, beautiful phenomenon.

Burnal Equinox

March 28-30, 2025
Theme TBA

Conception

July 25-27, 2025
Theme TBA

Octoburn

October 17-26, 2025
Theme: TOMORROW TODAY

Our Octoburn tradition each year is to follow the same art theme that Burning Man does at BRC. You can read more about "TOMORROW TODAY" here.

The week of the 27th of October through 1st of November is our "afterglow week". Visitors are welcome to visit the playa and explore the camps, grab some gifts, and interact with various elements on the camps. Just explore, all across the regions!

On Saturday 8th November, noon and 6pm SLT/Pacific, there will be a culmination of the event with SKIN BURN, a reprise burn of the Man with everyone attending in a low complexity avatar.
