Event Information

Emergence will be held at the Woodlands Nature Reserve March 26 - 30, 2026.

Directions and gate information will be shared closer to the event.

Inspired by Burning Man, we gather to celebrate the magic of life in its infinite forms.

We honor the Ten Principles: radical self-reliance (we provide portable toilets, the rest is up to you), radical self-expression, radical inclusion, decommodification (no money changes hands at the event), gifting, immediacy, communal effort, participation (no spectators), civic engagement and leave no trace (this is a pack-it-in-pack-it-out event).

Our One Rule is consent. We take this very seriously. Please review our Warnings & Ban Policy.

2026 Theme

Mythical Absurdities
Riffing off of myths of the past, present, and future, we invite everyone to bring a little more absurdity to amp up our collective Emergence. Push a telltale myth to the extreme, invent your own absurd myth, or raise the absurdity to mythical proportions... You decide!
