Vancouver

The Burning Man Vancouver community has grown up since 1999 when a small group formed our first email list to keep informed of what others were doing. Since then, burners have gathered together to connect, plan events and camps, and share experiences. We are an active, friendly and diverse community, and we've always warmly welcomed Burners and other like-minded folk to participate in our activities.

Burn in the Forest was a rustic community campout gathering held deep in a forest valley below glacial peaks, in traditional Squamish Nation territory. This location is no longer available to us due to closure by wildlife officials following multiple grizzly encounters. If you are aware of this site, please respect the closure as the bear’s life (and possibly yours) depends on it.

Sizzle (aka, Drizzle) July 2007 was held on the Sunshine Coast

Santacon – held every December since 2000

The community is active year-round, hosting decompression parties, club nights, fire spinning jams, community potlucks, town hall meetings, arts and crafts bees, hot tub parties and more. Join the announce list to keep informed.
