Think Globally, Burn Locally

With Burning Man groups in 36 US states and 34 countries, you don’t have to go to the desert to experience the culture.

Burning Flipside

Burning Flipside is a participatory art celebration inspired by Burning Man. Since the first event in 1998, when a few dozen friends got together for a campout near Austin, it has grown to become a temporary city of about 2-3,000 people. With an extensive all-volunteer organization that makes it run, there are numerous ways for anyone who wants to be a part of it to get involved. At the same time, it has become the nucleus of a year-round community that meets regularly to socialize, work together on projects, and discuss the event’s direction.

With DJs, dancing, and emerging artworks supported through artist grants, the gathering becomes both ritual and revelry. It marks a liminal kickoff to the summer burn season, rekindling connection, movement, and shared imagination.
