Burning Japan

This year, Burning Japan returns with the theme “Senki Yagyo” — a procession of a thousand Burner spirits. Inspired by the ancient Japanese imagery of Hyakki Yagyo, the legendary night parade of spirits, this year we take it from a hundred to a thousand — reflecting our vision of bringing 1,000 Burners together. A thousand individual fires, ideas, sounds and souls coming together for a few unforgettable days — creating something that exists only in that moment, and then disappears.

Venice Afterburn

Venice Afterburn brings a little playa magic to the edge of the Pacific, taking over legendary Windward Plaza beneath the palms and ocean sky. Inspired by the Burning Man principles, this official Regional Event welcomes burners, non-burners, and the burner-curious for two joyful days of art, mutant vehicles, self-expression, participation, music, and performances.
