The East Coast Burning Man Communities present PLAYA del FUEGO MK II: The Next Level (our tenth East Coast Burning Man Gathering) October 19th-21th, 2001 https://www.playadelfuego.org/
------------------------------------------------------------------ THE EVENTThree days and two nights of feasting, burning company, burning artand general craziness at a new location! Keep the desert spirit alivefrom the Big Burn. Celebrate our East Coast flavored burningcommunity. Bring your art, stories, music, performance and anythingelse creative!We've some great times on Assateague Island in the past, but haveoutgrown the ability of the Park Service to manage our events, so wehave relocated to private land. This is our rubicon as a Burning Mancommunity, new territory, new challenges and many new friends.In a nutshell: * $20 per person in advance, $35 at the gate. This covers land use, porta-johns, fire wood and insurance. See the ticket link in order to purchase tickets. Please buy in advance if possible. We need to cap attendance at 500 due to limits on our event insurance. PLEASE NOTE! This is our first event that requires ticket sales. There is no such thing as a "reservation" as there has been in past Beach events. This is a whole new ballgame, so the *only* way to ensure admissions is to purchase a ticket now. Tickets are limited to 500. There is no guarantee that tickets will still be available at the gate. Tickets are not refundable. * Advance tickets may be purchased with PayPal or credit card through October 16. Cash only at the gate. * Fenced private land which allows public nudity without worrying about park rangers citing the nudists among us. * The ability to have music run late. * No more worrying about placing the fire below the high tide line. * Seven acres of space for whatever art projects or performance we care to do. * We have exclusive use of the land for the weekend, just us! * Better located for folks coming from Philadelphia, NY and other points north and the midwest.Things to note (and differences from Assateague): * There is no running water, just like the desert you need to bring your own water, showers, etc. * All dogs must be on a leash. You are responsible for cleaning up after them. * The seven acres are part of the larger parcel of land owned by our hosts. Some areas of event area are OFF LIMITS. Please respect our hosts wishes, stay away from the trailers, clubhouse and flagpole area. See the site map at bottom. The flagpole area is especially sacred as it contains ashes of war veterans, respect it as you would any memorial. * Parking: No need for parking permits. You can drive in to the camp area, drop your heavy stuff and then park back near the entrance. * Tickets can be bought in advance here for $20 or $35 at the gate. We strongly recommend that you buy tickets in advance. If we have to sell a bunch at the gate, then this could cause quite a backup on the rural road that is the only access.Want more basic info?
