Ontario Regional Burning Man Event
SideBurn is a camping, arts and cultural event held near Stone Mills, Ontario where like-minded people come together to radically express themselves, share their art and offerings, and take part in creating an experience for each other.
May 16 - 20, 2024
Burning Man Project is not a producer or organizer of the Regional Event; Burning Man Project accepts no liability arising out of or in connection with the Regional Event.
The organizers of SideBurn do not curate music or activities. We book the field, rent porta potties, coordinate logistics, volunteers, and safety, approve theme camps, disburse grants to art projects and design/build the city.
Each year we choose a community-submitted theme to guide, inspire, and provoke. All of the music and other activities are provided by participants. The art, dance, costumes and culture that make up SideBurn are determined and created by the community itself, and make this event unlike any other. What will you capture to bring to this year’s theme?
We can’t wait to experience it.

Constellations
Constellations echo the essence of community: diverse yet interconnected. Each star, unique in brilliance, contributes to the captivating tapestry of the night. Similarly, individuals in a community, with their distinct qualities, form a collective brilliance. Just as stars rely on each other's radiance, communities thrive through collaboration and support, united by bonds that strengthen their fabric. Like guiding stars, communities offer direction and support, illuminating paths through life's complexities. Shared narratives and experiences weave a rich tapestry of belonging, binding individuals into a collective identity within the vast human sky.
