So I’m going to a Canadian festival roughly modeled after Burning Man alone this week. I’ve never gone to something like this before, but expect to have a weird time (hopefully in a good sense).
Have you ever gone to something kinda like this (BM itself, a regional burn, outdoor multi-day music festival with that kind of vibe)? I’d love to hear people’s stories/hard-earned wisdom.
If you’re heading to Sideburn, get the dust app. (If you haven’t already). https://dust.events/docs/intro/ (link for Android or iOS app is here).
It is an app (for burning man & regional events) that has details of theme camps, art, music & the events on during the festival. They may have a paper guide and the app can be more up to date.
I recommend having a look through the events so you have the option of preparing for any you require something specific for (like a particular color clothing etc). The app doesn’t require internet access after retrieving the event data if you don’t have reception at the location.
