What's this?
Xmas Burn is an annual retreat celebrating art and community, inspired by turning the excesses of late stage capitalism into the materials we use to build our event. Fueled by friendship, creativity, and wonder, it's an event for you and by you β your ideas, art, and enthusiasm are what makes it happen.The land for our event at Home Afarm has room for theme camps and open camping, with people sharing their music, art, and fun around every corner. Xmas Burn thrives on the creative, open atmosphere and inspiration you bring. We are inspired by the 10 principles and place a strong value on diversity equity and inclusion, restorative justice, and above all consent!
