VENICE AFTERBURN

A Burning Man Regional Event

OCTOBER 4th & 5th, 2025 | 12PM-10PM
WINDWARD PLAZA, VENICE BEACH, CA

About The Event

The Venice Afterburn is a yearly celebration of art and community in Venice Beach. As an official Burning Man Regional, it brings the playa spirit into the “default world,” blending it with the creative and colorful energy of Venice.

For two days, Windward Plaza transforms into a playground of magic full of art cars, installations, theme camps, music and comes alive with burners and locals alike.

Free before 6pm. Family-friendly during the day; after 6pm, the kids head home.

Produced with love by LA based nonprofit Dogtown Artists United.

What Does It All Mean?

Burning Man created a temporary city that exists once a year in the Nevada desert dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance.

The Regional Network wants to keep that culture alive all year round and extend it to the 'default world'.
