Are you planning to go to Burning man for the first time? Gather with us to learn more about making the journey in 2026.
This is a particularly critical time with the main ticket sale coming up April 29, and registration for it happening April 20 to 28. Not that you can’t get tickets other ways, but we’ll talk about all that here.
Not reinventing the wheel, so this’ll build on what's been covered on previous BM for beginners hosted by Darrell:
* The 10+1 Burning Man principles 
* Getting Tickets to Burning Man
* Making preparations for a week in the Desert
* Finding a home on the Playa
* Getting TO Burning Man
* Entering Black Rock City
Little Miss Whiskey’s allows outside food, so feel free to pick up some on your way or order for delivery when you get here.
This event is open to anyone for the hangout, but especially those who've never been to Burning Man or who has been only one year for the presentation.
Arrive as early at 7:00 pm, the brief presentation will begin at 7:30pm (will not last more than 30 minutes.
OR arrive after 8 pm if you’d rather skip the presentation altogether.
Veteran Burners, please pass this on to your friends who are burners and just don't know it yet!
Also save the dates for April 4th or 5th. The DC Burners Nonprofit is planning on hosting a small town hall and social in DC, a great next stop for any new and aspiring Burners.
Co-hosts: Joy aka Zendipity (DC Regional Contact), and Nexus (The Alphabet Cookout TCO)
ACCESSIBILITY NOTES:
Please note that Little Miss Whiskey’s event space is located on the second floor and is accessible by stairs only (there is no elevator or ramp).
The venue has three single-occupancy restrooms: two on the ground floor and one on the second floor.
We recognize that this setup presents accessibility barriers and want to be transparent so folks can make informed decisions about attendance.
