SideBurn 2026: The Great Rewilding

SideBurn is a vibrant arts, cultural, and camping event held near Stone Mills, Ontario, where creative individuals gather to radically express themselves, share their art and offerings, and collaboratively shape a unique experience for one another. This year’s theme calls us back to our roots, to the wild within and around us. A return to instinct, imagination, and play. It’s a celebration of nature’s chaos, human creativity, and our deep connection and respect for the earth that holds us. Together we become forest spirits, glowing fungi, creatures of light and laughter, co-creating with the land rather than upon it. The Great Rewilding is a living reminder that the wilderness was never lost, only waiting for us to awaken.

InterFuse 2026: Biohazard Bloom

In a world ravaged by pollutants, toxins, and waste.. a cataclysm has befallen the earth, but life has not perished; it has mutated. The wasteland here is not barren, but overflowing with mutated, glowing, and strangely beautiful life that has adapted to harsh conditions. The familiar landscapes have given way to a vibrant, unsettling ecosystem where the very substances that once threatened existence now fuel a new, bizarre, and beautiful burst of life. It's a world where radiation has given birth to bioluminescent flora, where scavenged technology has been incorporated into organic forms, and where the "hazard" is also the source of new, vibrant, and unsettling beauty. Explore the paradox of danger and beauty, decay and rebirth. A moment in time where the "hazard" is intrinsically linked to the "bloom." Discover the radiance in ruin and celebrate the relentless, often grotesque, ingenuity of adaptation.

Burning Nest

Burning Nest is a week of art, play, and mischief in a Devon woodland. It’s a participatory event, meaning no spectators, no commerce – just curious humans co-creating magic together, one ridiculous idea at a time.
