Regional Contacts
Albany-Troy
We are burners of New York's Capital District and surrounding areas. From Albany
and Troy to Saratoga to Woodstock and even pieces of western Massachusetts,
Vermont, and New Hampshire. We've been making a semiannual caravan down south
for Playa del Fuego and enjoy hooking up with NYC burners. We are still a
fairly new burner region, but there are local arts events happening on a weekly
basis. Participants welcome!
