GATHER ‘ROUND

the Dreamers,
the Builders,
the Lovers of
Dance & Play

You know that feeling after a really good burn? The one where you’re buzzing with creativity, connection, and maybe a little bit of dust? We’re bottling up that magic and bringing it to Ashland! The Southern Oregon Burners present a full day of art, music, community, and shenanigans.
 
Come reignite your spirit, meet your fellow burners (and burner-curious friends!), and keep the flame alive. All are welcome, whether you’re a seasoned veteran of the playa or just wondering what all the fuss is about. Join us for our 2nd Annual Afterburnt, an event celebrating the Southern Oregon Burners community in 4 different locations across downtown Ashland
 
Dance to the music. Gaze at the art. Sit and sip at the tea ceremony service. Watch as the flames spin round and round  the fire dancers. Enjoy the performance from local Burning Man camps and Burners alike 
 
Whether you’ve been to Burning Man over 20 times or never before, everyone is welcome.
