Dragon Burn is 4-days of camping held on beautiful, secluded land in Anji, Zhejiang — an adventure of art, music, interaction, participation and fire.

At most festivals you are the consumer of centrally organised entertainment for the exchange of money and at the expense of trash. Dragon Burn is the ‘unfestival’. All arts installations, music, entertainment, workshops and performances are brought by other participants and on-site, money is banned. The event is organised, built and dismantled by participants. There’re no vendors, no sponsors, no profit.

Since nothing can be bought or sold, all participants must bring their own shelter, food and drink for the duration and embrace the culture of ‘gifting’. You may be surprised to be gifted without reason anything from a free dinner to a free massage lesson and once accustomed to this abundance, you may also feel the will to give without reciprocation.

For many, Dragon Burn is a container for personal growth and new experiences so check out a workshop, installation or a panel discussion. Set an intention beyond just fun and use your Burn as an opportunity to learn about others, the world and yourself. It may be eye-opening or even life-changing.
