Florida Afterburn

Each year our community gathers to create something temporary, powerful, and entirely our own. Afterburn has always been about participation, creativity, and the magic that happens when people show up ready to contribute.

Dustcovery (On Pause for 2026)

Sad news: Dustcovery will not be taking place in 2026. Despite a lot of searching, GVIAS and the Dustcovery Production Team weren't able to secure a venue that fit our timeframe and needs by the go/no-go date. We're gutted, but we're already hopeful for what the community can bring back in the future. Have a lead on a Lower Mainland venue that might work for future GVIAS events? We'd love to hear from you: board@gvias.org. We're keeping this listing up so it's easy to find, and we hope to be back with a full extravaganza in 2027.

North Bay Decom: Process the Harvest

Gather with us to relive and release all of the experiences from this year’s Burn. Inside, bands will play during the day and morph into DJs as the sun goes down. [All howl]. Outside, theme camps will spread their magic, artists will show us what they’ve got, and art cars will strut their stuff. There will be fire, but no Burn. All are invited to participate!

Dutch Decompression

They are places where you learn things about yourself, where your inner vision opens, your horizons expand. The Decom is here to celebrate the challenge that comes from change. And to hopefully soften the sometimes-rough landing… The very basic core of a Burner’s spirit is their passion for adventure. The joy of life that comes from our encounters with new experiences. There is no greater thrill than to discover a changed horizon, to have a different sun for each new day. Using these learnings and new horizons, we encourage you to contribute to this year’s philosophy. Create an artwork, performance or decoration that forecasts your future. Imagine alternative pasts which, branching off from what we know, create alternative realities. The horizon leans forward, offering you space to take new steps of change.

Substance Over Splash – Australia's Regional Burns
Did we follow the rules???
Australians are afraid of authorities, so we’re always going to push the envelope here.
Every time.
As an American, I feel like I can say that!… Get the full story…
OTHERWORLD – Vancouver Island's Regional Ripple Effect
“I do it because I believe in humans. I believe that we can do culture differently. And regional Burns and Otherworld and Burning Man specifically are real life containers where we get to live out these philosophies in real life that we often just get to like, hypothesize about.”
~Jax Creatrix… Get the full story…
The Borderland: Trust Creates Worlds
It’s really trust-based. I would say that’s the one factor that separates Borderland from a lot of other Burns, organizations in general, the general level of trust between members is very high, and it’s designed that way. It’s very, in that sense, risk-taking, but I wouldn’t say it’s taking a risk because it works really well. It also creates resiliency because there’s so much also loyalty among the members, and the actual belief that their opinion matters. And then you get so much good will and so much buy-in from the community…. Get the full story…
From Flipside to the Future – George Paap
“The art that’s out at Burning Man, there’s no other place on the planet for it. And I tell people — this is my tagline for Burning Man — It’s the most creative place on the planet, for a week. Wouldn’t you want to go there? I think I want to go to the most creative place on the planet, and experience a planetary event like that. This is a planetary thing. This is not a San Francisco thing or an Austin thing. It’s a world wide global thing.”… Get the full story…
