Austin

Austin is Texas's beautiful hilly capitol. Austin is home to a very active burner community and works closely with communities in Dallas, Denton, and Houston to host the Burning Flipside event over Memorial Day. Our local event has grown from 30 participants in 1998 to an expected 1200 in 2004.

The Austin community participation at Burning Man ranges from building a complete village in 2000 to individual theme camps. Many Austin participants volunteer at Burning Man. The community is active year round with camping trips to the hill country, Padre National Seashore, and practically weekly social activities. We are a diverse population with many interests and artistic outlets.
