• 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.

  • 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.

  • Wicked Burn

    By day, the forest hums softly—sunlight filtering through pines, art tucked between mossy stones, canvases hung in the trees, and strangers becoming collaborators, then community. By night, the woods transform: glowing installations pulse among the trunks, firelight flickers across faces, and sound drifts through the leaves in waves; this is when we bloom.

    Wicked Burn is an inclusive community that ignites creativity, self-expression, and community inspired by Burning Man’s 10 Principles. Rooted in Maine’s rustic woods, it’s a collaborative space for art, personal growth, and shared experiences. We are committed to inclusivity, sustainability, and leaving a positive impact while celebrating the transformative power of participation.

  • Ignite!

    Nestled in the mountains of Virginia, Ignite! Is a 4-day camping event that lends itself to activities around acculturation, community skill-shares, and education, in addition to the dancing, laughing, shouting, playing. We like to call it a “learn ‘n’ burn”: the community provides “playforms” to share knowledge throughout each day. All of this happens with a backdrop of amazing music, art, fire, and community.

  • Crème Brûlée

    Crème Brûlée is a gathering based on the 10 principles of Burning Man. It is artistic, participatory, and non-commercial. The atmosphere, the decor, the music, the artwork, the workshops, the yoga, the magic, and the hugs will all be thanks to you! Here there are no “spectators”, only participants. Crème Brûlée is held in Creuse (center of France), a remote and rural area.

  • This Event is Cancelled 2026 For The Birds

    “For the birds,” is an idiom thought to originate around World War II, from the sight of birds pecking at horse manure for seeds. It means something, “not worth consideration,” or, “unimportant,” per the Oxford English Dictionary. I couldn’t think of a better example for the burner experience. When you talk to people about the lived experience of a burn, you can get the response, “I don’t really do camping, or whatever.” Describing a burn as camping is incomplete, even inaccurate. Just as a group of animals foraging for food is the furthest thing from unimportant in their lives. Burns are nourishment for the soul. We know they’re important and that they are absolutely worth considering and so much more!
    So, what is your take on, “For the Birds”? Is it something important disguised as something bland? A frivolity few discuss or reflect on? Building a giant cage and subsisting entirely on millet?
    Regardless, burns are the nourishing seeds we find in the complex compost of life. They’re hard work, messy, and can sometimes be a little smelly. But, anyone who says they’re not important is full of more than just seeds.
    Be mindful of the feathers. Birds can leave them behind, but we sure can’t!
