“Cirque du Feu”: Redding Fire Festival This Weekend

Burners are scattered all over the country, and all over the world. From the 2012 Census:

Up north in Redding, veteran Burner and Dancetrohottie Adrionah has become the unofficial go-to person for Burners in the region. She is putting on a “Circus of Fire” this Saturday March 22: a festival featuring fire dancing, acrobats, aerialists, contortionists, bluegrass music, break dancing and belly dancers, and local food and crafts. She says:

I like that people refer to me so often for Burning Man related stuff in the area. And the festival is really pulling Burners out of the woodwork. Which is perfect! That is exactly what I wanted to do. It seems to be moths to the light:) The more Burners I gather, the more we can collaborate and integrate participatory and counter-culture art. Plus, it is giving me the opportunity to promote the traditional Burner values that were instilled in me a decade ago. Things like giving unconditionally, to think is to create, etc. Hopefully, we will someday be able to have a pre-compression here. I actually have some of BMORG come out for it:)

The festival goes all day and is kid-friendly, come to Redding for a sunny Saturday and help support the spread of Burner culture. Tickets are only $5.
