Welcome to Burning Flipside
Burning Flipside is a regional art and music festival inspired by Burning Man. It is a place for radical self-expression and an experiment in temporary community building. It is a place of acceptance, inclusiveness, and respect. It is organized entirely by volunteers. The art and entertainment is created solely by participants. There are no spectators. There are no concession stands. No cash transactions are permitted at Flipside. Even bartering is discouraged. This is a sincere experiment in creating a gift economy. If you need something, ask for it. If you have it, gift it! This is a Leave No Trace event. There are no garbage cans. Participants pack out what they bring.

The Basics
Get Involved
Our Principles
Self Expression Our events foster an environment of creative self-expression, where participants feel supported to honestly express their inner selves, through artistic creation, performance, and in their social interactions.
Accountability Our events foster an environment of personal accountability, where we hold ourselves responsible for our own actions, and take personal responsibility for meeting our own needs, for the event itself, and for the event's impact on the world at large.
Cooperation Our events foster an environment of cooperation, where participants work together to resolve potential conflicts between one another, to help mediate conflicts between others, and to create art, performance, and social spaces on a larger scale than one person could alone.
Burning Flipside 2010: Post Apocalyptic Prom
Well done, everyone. Prom night was a success, and now it's a matter of sweeping up the confetti from the dance floor and making sure everyone gets home before curfew.
A great Thank You goes to all the volunteer teams who look after us, greet us, ice us, and dozens of other efforts continuing even now. Did a volunteer team help you out when you needed it? Did you see something and you'd like to be a part of it? Take a look at our Pyropedia Wiki and get to clicking.
The Apache Pastures site looks in marvelous shape so far, and we thank you all for doing your part to Leave No Trace!
