On-the-Ground Updates

🥹 Not Goodbye, Just ’Til Next Burn 🥹

Thanks for bringing the magic to SideBurn! 💚🔥 We’re so grateful you came, danced, and got weird with us. Safe travels out there—see you next time, you beautiful fire-loving weirdos! 🐼🤓

Signing off,
The 2025 SideBurn Crew 🔥

Don’t be that camper—pack out your trash! 🗑️

If you brought it in, take it out. The Leave No Trace fairy is off-duty ✨ & your mom doesn’t live here. Don’t be an a**hole—clean it up! 💩 With love. 💚🔥

🚗 Exodus Update – Please Read Carefully 🚙

Okay, SideBurners, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today. 🐿️

Good news! Roads are now OPEN for campers to start packing up and heading out — with one exception: 🐼 Trash Panda Lane (home of Disco Shower 🪩🚿) remains closed to vehicles due to muddy site conditions. If you’re camped there, you’ll need to carry or cart your belongings out. No vehicle access in that zone unless approved.

We ask that most folks aim to be packed up and on the road by 12 PM ⏰, and all vehicles must be off-site by 3 PM 🚗.

Exit routes:

• Campers north of the Rangers or HIVE Tent, please exit via the Back Barn Entrance 🚜
• Campers south of the Rangers or HIVE Tent, head out through the Front Gate Entrance 🚧

This will help traffic flow smoothly and keep things moving.

We know you’re probably ready to get the f**k out to a hot shower and a cozy bed 🛁🛏️ — but please drive slowly and carefully. There are still lots of folks on foot 🚶‍♀️🚶. Do not park on the roads so medical, staff, and fellow campers can move safely and efficiently 🚑👷‍♂️.

Thanks for being part of the ride! Stay safe out there, and see you next time!

Much love–The SideBurn Team 💚🔥

🚧 Road Update on Site 🚧

Due to current weather conditions, vehicles are still limited to parking areas only. If you’re packing out today, please plan to carry or cart your belongings and trash from your camp to your car. 🛒🚶‍♂️ This helps protect the site as we work to maintain safe road conditions. 🛤️

If you see neighbours needing a hand, please offer one. 🤝 It’s kindness and community in action that make SideBurn special. 💚🔥

Thanks for being part of it all — we hope you’re having an amazing burn! 🫶✨

🧊 Ice Ice, Baby — at HIVE! 🧊

Alright stop, hydrate and listen… ICE is back with a brand new invention — and there’s more chillin’ at HIVE! Stop by anytime! 😎

🌬️ It’s a UFO! It’s Superman! Nope — it’s a flying tent! 💨

Winds are picking up—secure your tents, big and small, and your shade before they take off! Let’s keep SideBurn grounded and safe. 🛠️⛺💚

🚦 Gate is now open! 🚦

Thanks for your patience while we kept everyone safe during the weather and site concerns.

☀️ Good news — the weather looks like it’s going to miss us, but please continue to secure your tents, shade, and RV awnings just in case.

🚗 Please note: Vehicles are limited to parking only — you’ll need to cart or carry your gear to your camp from the lot.

Keep looking out for each other — the SideBurn spirit is strong! 💚🔥

Stay safe and enjoy the burn! 🫶

❄️ Ice Available at HIVE! ❄️

Ice is ready for pick-up or purchase at HIVE! Grab yours to stay cool and refreshed. 🧊🥤 Stop by anytime!

⚠️ Weather Advisory – Let’s Get Prepared, SideBurners ⚠️

There’s a possibility of a weather system moving in early this afternoon, which could bring heavy rain, strong winds, and possibly hail. It may pass us by — but it’s always better to be ready, just in case.

We advise that you 🔒secure your tents, 🛠️ structures, 🏕️ shade setups, ☂️ close umbrellas, and 🚐 retract RV awnings. If you see a neighbour who could use a hand, please jump in. These are the moments when SideBurn truly shows its heart. ❤️

The strength of our community shines brightest in uncertain times. Thank you for being the kind of people who step up, look out for one another, and embody the spirit of SideBurn. 🔥

Stay safe, stay aware, and let’s take care of each other. 🫶

🚧 No Ins & Outs at the Moment

Due to current weather conditions and concerns about road conditions, we’re temporarily pausing all vehicle ins and outs. This is just to protect the site and make sure everyone stays safe. 🌧️ We’ll provide an update at around 1 PM once we’ve had a chance to reassess.

While you wait, grab a coffee or snack in the local area and recharge so you’re ready when we’re back on track! Thank you for your patience and understanding. 💚

👽Heads Up: That’s Just Our Drone, Not Aliens

This morning between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM, a drone will be in the air briefly over the event grounds. For more information, tap on “Drone Flyby Notification” under links. Learn more.
