This is part of the Solstice Weekend of Activities. Read about it here: https://journal.burningman.org/2020/06/philosophical-center/tenprinciples/2020-solstice-weekend/
Reserve your spot Friday and join the event here: https://kindling.burningman.org/gather
Call for Participation: We still have some slots available for Burners to present projects from 8pm-9pm they would like others to know about, so email flambelounge@burningman.org if you would like a few minutes to present a project and invite participation and/or collaboration. Read more below.
FRIDAY NIGHT BURNER SOCIAL – June 19, 8pm-12am PDT
Join Bay Area Burners online for a new fangled, old fashioned Friday night social. Socialize and find project collaborators, participate in a 10 Principles game show, attend a drawing salon, check out digital art and performances hosted by Burners in Burn 2, or dance among friends in a safe and encouraging online creative space. #burningsolstice
The program will kick off with an online forum from 8pm-9pm for anyone wishing to share information about projects you are leading to bring the 10 Principles home in a year without Black Rock City. If you would like to present a project to share information and find creative collaborators, email flambelounge@burningman.org
Each presenter will have a few minutes to share what they are working on and seek insights and help. We are reserving at least the first half of the program to feature and give priority to projects focused on racial justice and social equality. Art, theme camp, and other creative projects are also encouraged.
Solstice weekend commemorates the birth of Burner culture, and this year it is aligning with a significant moment in larger society. Radical Inclusion, Civic Responsibility, and Leaving a Positive Trace in the world mean more and offer more. You decide how you want to embody the 10 Principles of Burning Man and show up in the world!

YOU are invited to the online premiere of a new documentary about founder Larry Harvey.
Produced by Profiles in Dust in collaboration with Burning Man Project, the new film Larry: A Burning Man Story chronicles the life and influence of Burning Man’s iconic founder, featuring never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with Larry’s friends, family and colleagues. This special online premiere is a benefit for the nonprofit Burning Man Project. 100% of donations received will go to support ongoing efforts to bring Black Rock City back to the world in 2021, and keep Burning Man culture alive and thriving around the world.
June 21st, the Summer Solstice (for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere), will mark the 34th anniversary of the first Burning Man event on San Francisco’s Baker Beach. Three live online screenings will be held in three time zones to serve a global audience. Each screening will be followed by a live Q&A session with the filmmakers.
