Regional Contacts

South Dakota

The South Dakota Regional Contacts serve the entire state of South Dakota. Our goal as your Regional Contacts is to bring a sense of community to a group of people who often feel disconnected following Burning Man. We were surprised to find out that there are other South Dakota Burners and bet that the rest of the community in which we are reaching out to were surprised as well.

South Dakota is a state that has a sparse population spread out over a large area. Forming this community we hope to connect South Dakota Burners despite space and time.

We are a relatively new community, so we have yet to hold a regional event. However, we are excited to not only facilitate an online community but to connect on a personal level with as many South Dakota Burners or Burner minded folk as possible.
