Come home to the Harvest
Did you unpack your onesie just to smell the dust? Do you wait in line at the DMV because you miss gate road? We have the solution.
We’re gathering at Laguna Lab in Sebastopol to relive and release this year’s Burn. Inside, live bands play through the afternoon and DJs take over as the sun goes down. Outside, theme camps share their gifts, artists show us what they’ve got, and art cars strut their stuff. There will be fire, but no Burn.
It’s the first North Bay Decom since 2011, and it’s for everyone: Burners, first-timers, families and the Burner-curious. Come as you are, in your finest playa wear, and bring warm layers for the evening.
Before you come
- Read the DECOMmandments & Survival Guide. It covers everything you need to know about the day, and it helps keep this event (and our neighbors) happy.
- Bring a gift if you feel moved to do so. It could be stickers, snacks, a hug or a story. This is a gifting event, so there’s no vending.
- Bring your own cup. It’s for the beer garden, and it helps us leave no trace.
- Bring warm layers for when the sun goes down.
