Amber Burn is a regional Burning Man community gathering in Lithuania that is organized and run entirely by volunteers, following the ten principles of Burning Man. We all, including YOU, create a more expressive and exciting reality together.​ As a part of the Burning Man family, we are a community where everyone is welcome. No prerequisites exist for participation. It’s an environment that encourages individuals to rely on their inner resources and creativity. Amber Burn only happens if you and I and all of us make a communal effort to gift and make it happen.

At its core, Elsewhere is a giant social experiment. It's where art and chaos bubble up from the collective. It's creativity, connection, and collective effort, guided by our shared principles (think Gifting, Self-Reliance, Leave No Trace… the good stuff).

Cosmic Burn is a small five-day, four-night temporary world, created on private property just outside Ithaca, NY. With a center camp as its living heart, the gathering weaves art, music, and fire into a shared rhythm, culminating in the burning of the effigy. Co-created by the community for itself, Cosmic Burn is a place where the 10 Principles are lived in practice and imagination is set alight.

2026 marks the 23rd anniversary of Critical Northwest. Throughout the years, our devoted community of volunteers and citizens have embodied the essence of Burning Man in Washington, blending the art, excitement, and creativity of the Playa with the enchantment and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. It's a place to get a taste of Burner culture – Featuring art, DJs, fire performances, live music, theme camps, workshops, and, of course, a fire conclave & burn. Critical Northwest is an event sponsored by Ignition Northwest, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to fuel the community through participatory arts, events, and education.
