CANCELED: East Bay Burner Social | Oakland

> EVENT UPDATE: This event is no longer taking place.

East Bay Burners are a group of Burning Man devotees who all live around the East Bay and get together monthly to talk, exchange ideas, teach, learn and have fun.

The East Bay Burner Social takes place monthly in the run-up to the festival and features a different speaker or topic of discussion each time. The group is a great way to meet new Playa friends, or if you’re a beginner, to figure out what Burning Man is all about.

The East Bay Burner Socials are family friendly (kids welcome) wheelchair accessible, and to facilitate discourse, don’t have loud music.

CANCELED: East Bay Burner Social | Oakland

Hosted by two veteran burners, this open-forum discussion aims to help first-time burners navigate the culture of the playa and and prepare for a really rewarding experience, using Burning Man’s Ten Principles as a starting point.

From gifting to consent, what’s the etiquette? How self reliant is self-reliant enough? Do I need to lock my bike? Can I take that picture? Is there such a thing as a free hug? There and other topics are up for discussion, as we invite you to find out everything you wanted to know about Burning Man but were too afraid to ask. And by “find out” we mean “participate”.
