New to Burning Man? Start where you are. Be your weird, playful self. Camp on your own or join a theme camp, and help out on a project or crew. Through building Black Rock City together we spark connective magic. We find ourselves, and our community.
Been around the dusty block? Burning Man is a vehicle for reinvention. Every year opens a new door; stay with the project you know, or branch out with a new volunteer team or idea. Nothing is static in the Burnerverse.
We build Black Rock City together! Participation is the secret sauce to creating joy, purpose and connection in the dust. Help make the rocket go by joining a volunteer team — an art or mutant vehicle crew, or one of the teams that builds and operates the city — you’ll connect with new friends, and learn skills. Learn about volunteering here.
