Global Events & Groups

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.

AfrikaBurn is the spectacular result of a community of participants who come together to create art, costume, performance, gifted and volunteered services, Theme Camps, music, Mutant Vehicles, and much, much more. The flagship AfrikaBurn event takes place around the end of April every year, this year's theme is Through The Prism. It is a chance to invent the world anew.

Join us for the 14th Annual unSCruz — a 4-day, 3-night celebration of fire, art, music, camping, and community from April 30 – May 3, 2026. unSCruz is a radically inclusive regional Burning Man–inspired gathering, created to be a safe and welcoming space for all. We celebrate diversity in every form and warmly welcome people of all genders, expressions, ages, orientations, races, ethnicities, creeds, faiths (or no faith), and lifestyles. Our community is built on respect, participation, and care for one another. Hate speech or behavior that demeans, dehumanizes, ridicules, or alienates others will not be tolerated. Come as you are. Bring your creativity, your kindness, and your spark — and help us co-create the magic of unSCruz.
