The Melbourne Burner community is thriving ! We welcome people with open arms and encourage participation in our various efforts.
We have two local Burner entities;
Melburners Inc is a volunteer run association supporting the Victorian Burner community. Melburners is part of the Burning Man Regional Network and works alongside other Burning Man organizations and events in line with the Burning Man 10 Principles. The MelBurners Decompression event is the third biggest Decompression globally – after San Francisco and London – averaging 1,000 attendees at the event. Proceeds from this prominent event are returned back to the community via an annual grants program supporting the projects and activities of theme camps, artists and creatives.
Common Arts Victoria is dedicated to community building through art and events. Our flagship event – Underland – happens in late-September each year in regional Victoria. It attracts approximately 500 people. Though it is not an official Regional Burn, it is still run in accordance with the 10 Principles. The rest of the year we run a variety of community events, including camp outs, community markets, info sessions and pub nights. Check out UNDERLAND or https://www.facebook.com/commonartsvic for more information.
