2024 WRAP UP

Where is your sticker now? Please send pics here! (These pics may be used in future publications by Burning Flipside)
Gate count: For 2024, the Catalyst Collective sold 2,490 tickets and 2,368 participants attended Burning Flipside: Cosmic Critter Carnival.
Placement: We had 129 registered Theme Camps and 76 placed Art Pieces! And many more that people just brought, for the art of it, with or without registration!
2025 STARTS NOW!!
Area Facilitators Needed! The operational side of Burning Flipside has an extensive volunteer organization, with ten Areas subdivided into Departments. Areas are led by Area Facilitators (AFs), and departments are led by Leads. What do area facilitators do? They support leads in their positions. They meet approximately monthly with the Catalyst Collective to talk about big picture operational stuff. The following areas are seeking new facilitators:
360/24/7 covers departments that serve Burning Flipside and the Burning Flipside community outside of the event. This includes the Warehouse, Equipment Librarian, and Edjumication.
City Planning: Every year we create a temporary city in the middle of nowhere. City Planning is the team of people who, with input from other participants, design it and help bring it into existence. Departments include Cartography, City Signage, Flagging, Placement, and Theme Camp Liaison.
Read more about our operations team and how you can participate here.
Town Hall – Fall Town Hall is usually in late September. The CC meeting on August 19 will firm up the schedule, so watch for news in a few weeks to save the date.
