What is the Gateway Burn?
The Gateway Burn is a three-day camping event that upholds the principles of Burning Man. We will gather to build a sense of community, a community of radical self-expression, radical inclusion, decommodification, radical self-reliance, communal effort. Together we will create, dance, sing and celebrate.
The event is entirely organized and staffed by volunteers. The goals of the Gateway Burn will never include making money. No cash transactions are permitted at the Gateway Burn. There are no concession stands. This is a gift-based economy. If you need something, ask. If you have it, share!
All participants are expected pack out what they packed in, and are encouraged to recycle what they can. This is a strict Leave No Trace event.
