Event Announcements
Burning Man 2026 Notice: Promote your events on BMIR!
BMIR is your community resource and the best outlet to get information directly into the gray matter of the citizens of BRC. Now that camp placement has gone out, it’s the perfect time to put together a promo about your camp shenanigans, art installations, unicorn parades, flaming tetherball courts, and any other events. We’d love to have yours in hand before we leave for the playa. The deadline is August 21st. Head to https://bmir.org/promos for specs, a tutorial, and to submit your promo(s). Questions on the process? Reach out to jexime@burningman.org.
Come down to BMIR (Center Camp between Ranger HQ and Earth Guardians) from 12-5pm each day to record event and camp announcements. Or relate your encounters with radical acts of gifting on-air to the city at large.
Weather Updates
When you need to know whether the weather will white-out your fluorescent green Mirabou boa, tune us in. 94.5 BMIR: It’s not just a radio station; it’s a radio station wired to connect YOU — a bunch of radical, celebratory self-expressionists living in the middle of the desert for seven days, creating the single greatest event known to humankind.
BMIR welcomes your participation. Please send comments and suggestions to bmir@burningman.org. We are thrilled to receive PSAs or interviews from the community at large.
