BURN2 OCTOBURN: AXIS MUNDI

Burn2's annual "big burn" event, Octoburn, echoes the event in the Black Rock desert, with the familiar sights and sounds, look and feel of the ancient dry lake bed where a city has sprung up from the dust. We will go beyond that, too - inspired by the same Burning Man theme for this year, with amazing, strange and wonderful possibilities for creating structure, art and sound from a barren virtual playa. The Man will be there. The Temple will be there. Center Camp will be there. And we will have our plots and HUBS. Most of all, we will be there, together!

This is what we'll see in October: Step off a road, walk into a camp, and you'll enter an unknown world created by the owner of that plot. It could be a sound camp or an art camp with stages and schedules each their own. It could be a small regular camp with tents and campfires, or it could be an elaborate work of art. Part of the magic is the unexpected.

Calling creatives! Consider the Burning Man art theme for 2026. Builders, get out your tools and pencils! Artists, deploy your mice and keyboards to form your next works of imagination. Use prims, use mesh, let your inspiration take shape! While creating, don't forget to stay rooted firmly in the 10 Principles of Burning Man and within the Terms of Service, Community Standards and Maturity rating of Burn2's regions. Guidelines are provided to help with this also. Now is the time to start getting ready.

For more than a decade, this Regional has echoed the look and feel of Black Rock City. We are excited! We hope you are, too! And so when the gate opens greeters will say to all who arrive, "Welcome Home!"
