About Illumination Village
From San Francisco

Illumination Village is an eclectic gathering of camps, held together by history and shared resources. You will find within the village, much like the microcosm of Burning Man, art and interactivity everywhere. Step into a glowing neighborhood where fire, light, music, and human connection collide. By day, find coffee, tea, a public steam bath, workshops, and welcoming spaces to rest, learn, and meet new friends. By night, the frontage ignites into a walk-through Fire Carnival of flame sculptures, interactive art, DJs, and spectacle that runs deep into the night. Dozens of LED installations keep the Village alive until sunrise, making it a beacon visible from across the playa. Come wander, participate, and see what happens when hundreds of creators build one shared world together.
