The Venice Afterburn is a daytime art and music festival that takes place every year in September in Venice Beach, California.
Artists are invited to bring their art cars, theme camps, burner bikes, interactive installations and other playa art for three days of magic by the beach. The event is free and family friendly, and runs each day until 10pm. We strongly encourage to show up early, to ensure full engagement and participation.
The 2019 edition will take place on November 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Check the Facebook event for updates: https://www.facebook.com/events/364713060771936/
Starting this year, the Venice Afterburn is produced by Los Angeles based non profit, Dogtown Artists United.

I have never been to Burning Man. Can I still attend this event?

​

What does it all mean??

We love Burning Man and everything that it represents. Burning Man created a temporary city that exists once a year in the Nevada desert dedicated to community, art, self-expression, self-reliance. The Regional Networks want to keep that culture alive all year round and extend it to the 'default world'. Learn more about the 10 principles of Burning Man, written by founder Larry Harvey: 10 principles of Burning Man
