Portland is a vibrant town with an active burner community, home to some amazing theme camps, artists, community-centric events, music, and other social gatherings and burner-specific spaces. The Burning Man ethos really resonates here in the North Willamette Valley. Here in Puddle Town, we have been burning as a Region since 2003.
We hold SOAK*, our annual regional burn, Portland Decompression, Woosday (happy hour social), Town Halls, Workshops, Fundraisers, Newbie Burner Picnics, and other events where you can meet, connect, and collaborate with other burners in the area.
