BLAZETACULAR ‘Art and Fire’ is your 2020 Burn event transforming the Port Beach Garden Bar this October.

As you enter the microcosm of all things Blaze, the theme celebrates You, Art, Fire, Music with an emphasis on Radical Self Expression.

Don that pièce de résistance outfit you had planned for the past year and explore the Gallery of installations that would have been dotted over the paddock this year.

Blazing Swan will be shrinking the playa but not the Arts, we are going huge!

Just as big is the assortment of Djs from an array of Theme Camps that will be providing the soundtrack over two stages. Get ready an amazing aural journey!

The Fire Team have been hard at work all year to bring Blaze closer to the flames! Watch our favourite pyros light up the night just to remind us, This is why we Burn!

Food options will be available so come down early and fuel up before a huge night of exploration and energy.

The space will be a massive collaboration from a multitude of creatives. Immerse yourself into the playground and explore some of the interactive Artworks, face painting and Gifting.

Blazing Swan is not just an event, it is part of a global Burner community that pushes boundaries of what it means to create and experiment towards a better world.

Blazing Swan is a platform from which YOUR ideas can be born and built. It is a blank canvass for your ideal world. One which sees your project able to provide, entertain, explore, intrigue, assist, inspire.

As a Blaze fundraiser, Blazetacular will support the organisation to support You, the Creator, the Experimentalist, the Visionary, the Performer, the Dreamer. Come to 2020’s temporary playa where we move towards the warmer weather and brighter future. Where friends and family connect, share, inspire and love. Blazing Swan is You!
