Each year our community gathers to create something temporary, powerful, and entirely our own. Afterburn has always been about participation, creativity, and the magic that happens when people show up ready to contribute.

Have questions about joining or creating a theme camp in Black Rock City? Curious about getting involved with one the Placement team? Join our monthly online sessions where we assist you with all your queries. RSVP to get a Zoom link for the office hours you wish to attend.

Gather with us to relive and release all of the experiences from this year’s Burn. Inside, bands will play during the day and morph into DJs as the sun goes down. [All howl]. Outside, theme camps will spread their magic, artists will show us what they’ve got, and art cars will strut their stuff. There will be fire, but no Burn. All are invited to participate!

Sad news: Dustcovery will not be taking place in 2026. Despite a lot of searching, GVIAS and the Dustcovery Production Team weren't able to secure a venue that fit our timeframe and needs by the go/no-go date. We're gutted, but we're already hopeful for what the community can bring back in the future. Have a lead on a Lower Mainland venue that might work for future GVIAS events? We'd love to hear from you: board@gvias.org. We're keeping this listing up so it's easy to find, and we hope to be back with a full extravaganza in 2027.
