Every year, Christmas Town hosts an interactive Christmas dinner gathering. We bring smoked chicken, pulled pork, Southern green beans with bacon, mashed potatoes, cornbread hotcakes, and snickerdoodle cookies. Everything is homemade and gluten free. We dress up in our Christmas best and encourage others to wear something Christmas themed to help spread Christmas Cheer! We often have Christmas carols performed by friends from other camps while we are serving food. We normally serve 100-150 people during this one meal, however we also provide breakfast and dinner on the other full days. Christmas dinner is held on Saturday around 5pm. We always have a long line waiting for our delicious feast to be served! During our social gathering and family meal, we
have our real Christmas tree set up to decorate. We provide burn safe blank wooden ornaments with hemp string that can be decorated and hung on our tree. It’s a really fun project that we started last year and have done at Flipside and Myschievia. Our tree is burnable art that we throw on the effigy fire once cleared by whoever is in charge.

As one of the few major food camps, providing meals and snacks for literally hundreds of burners each burn, we are requesting assistance from the Art Grant program to help us with these costs and to be able to provide for more people. We often run out before the line is gone. We spend over $1000 on food alone every burn, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated and would certainly get you on the Nice List with Santa!!

Our camp mission is to provide a safe space to eat, lounge, make music, and create magical Christmas memories with our friends and chosen family. Our camp provides Christmas specials and cartoons on our projector in our big comfy lounge area for anyone to come hang out and enjoy each night. We also have live music occasionally and flow performances. Everyone is welcome to dance with us! We understand that Christmas is difficult for many people and for many different reasons. We want to make new memories with you that you will cherish forever. We aim to fill your heart with joy, your tummy with food, and you memories with magic and happiness. We love our community so much and will continue to bring the magic of Christmas to the playa.

Thank you for your consideration! Merry Christmas and Hail Santa!

A soulful little sanctuary, Drawn to Light is inviting you to slow down, tune in, and let your creativity flow. Picture this: a cozy pile of plush pillows, with supplies to craft your own church fans —practical for staying cool in the Texas sun—and add your unique energy to a shared creative vibe.

​The space comes alive with interactive lights that move with you and mellow sounds that help you unwind. As you create, your handmade fans can become part of the installation, weaving together a living tapestry of art and connection. Whether you’re looking to chill, craft, or just bask in the good vibes, Drawn to Light is a place to shine your light and be part of something creative, collective, and cool.

Donations will go toward art supplies, pillows and lights to define the installation and vibe.

At The Dhaba we know that food is a great way to connect with people. Feeding a crowd is an everyday art form. The Dhaba brings everything and the Kitchen sink so you don’t have to. If you have ever wanted to feed a crowd but lack the infrastructure, please consider being a guest chef.

You bring enough food to feed 20 people or more, and use our set up cook and serve. We will help you and make sure you don’t unintentionally set something on fire.

You can make a beginner low cost crowd pleaser like cinnamon toast or you can share something that is a family tradition. This is a choose your own adventure activity. It should be fun, if it becomes stressful ask for help or take a step back.

I hope you or your friends will try being a guest chef at The Dhab!
