The goal for this event is to give provide an opportunity for local Burners to host art, build community, inspire creativity, perform and enjoy music, and create memories as they return from the Playa/decompress from the Burning Man season (or consider attending next year!). Burnout gives people in the Portland area an opportunity to celebrate, network, learn about, and build connections with other like-minded people in our region.
