CELESTIAL BURNINGMAN 2025: FRIENDS ONLY
A Sacred Return to Chosen Family
The heart of Celestial Sideshow has always been its people – the healers, performers, builders, dreamers, and lovers who create magic together. For 2025, we're honoring this truth by creating an intentional sanctuary in Black Rock City.
"This isn't about who we're keeping out. It's about who we're welcoming home."
OUR VISION FOR 2025
Our camp will be a true home on playa – a place where you return after adventures to faces who know your heart, to people who hold space for your authentic self, to the family you've chosen.

Current Celestial community membersFriends personally invited by our community (1-2 per person)
If you're discovering us for the first time, we invite you to join our year-round events in San Diego first. Burning Man will always be there next year, but authentic connections take time to cultivate.
