Missouri

Regional Community

Welcome to the Missouri Burning Man community! We welcome you to our community with open arms! We’re Burners spread throughout the state, with strong communities in St. Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia. Together, we celebrate Burning Man culture through radical self-expression, participatory art, inclusion, and community responsibility.

Whether you're new or a longtime participant, visiting or staying in Missouri, there are plenty of ways to get involved: regional burns, community meetups, and year-round events bring our statewide community together.
