WAYS TO PARTICIPATE

Amber Burn is the gathering where what happens is up to the community. Imagine immersing yourself in a bizarre world that offers the chance to step out of your everyday life. Hang loose, be what you always wanted to be, and let it ride. Why not try something new? Support or start a project you like with your wicked ideas, knowledge, and skills.

Without each of us, it would be impossible to make this happen. And while making it happen, we have a lot of fun and make new friends. Volunteering is possible at different stages. Starting with planning and preparation. Then build the city. During the gathering, we need everyone's help by volunteering at different places, and finally, we have to leave the event without a trace. Amber Burn happens because we all create it together.

Theme Camps

One of the ways to participate is to share your creativity with AB citizens: create art, installations, and art cars; bring a workshop or performance; play music; teach something; make and share food; and enlighten other participants with your experience and skills through the talks and discussions. This year’s theme is ARTINUS, any kind of activity or art is welcome and encouraged.

However, the heART of Amber Burn City are the Theme Camps. Gather your friends and create or join a Theme Camp! It’s way easier and more fun to live in a small community at a Theme Camp during the burn.

If if you want to camp by yourself or with a group of people, you can do so at Free Camping.

Many burners are coming to Amber Burn with the whole family, and if you decide to come with the kids, join the Kids Valley!

Check out the links and deadlines for theme camp and other registrations.

Lituanica Birds Camp

Kukeri

In the mystical realm of Kukeri, where all religions converge, lies a place of profound wonder. Here, amidst ancient forests and misty hills, time loses its hold and the soul finds solace. Within its ethereal confines, one encounters the essence of their inner selves – the playful innocence of childhood and the wisdom of age. Kukeri is a sanctuary where the past, present, and future merge, revealing the interconnectedness of existence. Yet, it remains elusive, calling only to those destined to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transcendence.

We are planning to create a mostly chill zone with some magical rituals. It will be calm, mystical area with lights, hammocks and nets on the trees, decorations, sculptures with workshops and musical experiences like sound therapy, jams.

This camp is no longer accepting new members.
