Crème Brûlée
Crème Brûlée is a gathering based on the 10 principles of Burning Man. It is artistic, participatory, and non-commercial. The atmosphere, the decor, the music, the artwork, the workshops, the yoga, the magic, and the hugs will all be thanks to you! Here there are no "spectators", only participants. Crème Brûlée is held in Creuse (center of France), a remote and rural area.

This Event is Cancelled 2026 For The Birds
"For the birds," is an idiom thought to originate around World War II, from the sight of birds pecking at horse manure for seeds. It means something, "not worth consideration," or, "unimportant," per the Oxford English Dictionary. I couldn't think of a better example for the burner experience. When you talk to people about the lived experience of a burn, you can get the response, "I don't really do camping, or whatever." Describing a burn as camping is incomplete, even inaccurate. Just as a group of animals foraging for food is the furthest thing from unimportant in their lives. Burns are nourishment for the soul. We know they're important and that they are absolutely worth considering and so much more!
So, what is your take on, "For the Birds"? Is it something important disguised as something bland? A frivolity few discuss or reflect on? Building a giant cage and subsisting entirely on millet?
Regardless, burns are the nourishing seeds we find in the complex compost of life. They're hard work, messy, and can sometimes be a little smelly. But, anyone who says they're not important is full of more than just seeds.
Be mindful of the feathers. Birds can leave them behind, but we sure can't!

OtherWorld
Otherworld is the official Burning Man Regional event for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.
It is a living experiment in community, art, and radical self-expression. Nestled within a valley in
the coastal forests of the Pacific Northwest, we gather annually to build a temporary city rooted
in the 10 Principles. Here, the line between “performer” and "spectator" disappears. Every
participant is a co-creator, contributing to a decommodified reality that exists outside the
boundaries of the everyday.

To The Moon
To The Moon is a yearly festival of creativity and society, deeply rooted in camaraderie, flames, and awe. This occasion will be assembled for and by you, as your innovative spirit, passion and boundless energy are the ingredients that make it a reality. One may camp with likeminded individuals in activity-driven theme camps or participate as an individual, choosing to stay in open camping. Regardless where you lay your head, there will be music, artistry, and a fiery jamboree. Like other regional Burning Man Events, To The Moon operates in agreement with the 10 Principles.
