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!
