DECOMPRESSION2026

Melburners Inc is proud to bring you our annual "Burning Man" Decompression party!

Following Underland (the local Vic Burn run by our partners, Common Arts Victoria), this serves as:

an after party for that event;
a celebration of our local burner community;
a showcase of burner art and theme camps that Melburners have funded this year; and
an opportunity for the burner-curious to enjoy a little taste of Burning Man closer to home.

LIMINAL PLAYGROUND (day) / SUB-LIMINAL (night)

You know that kind of eerie, surreal, springtime afternoon that just hangs in the air?

....like you’ve crossed a threshold into another realm….a space between places…frozen in time….

....where you’re having the best time…and you NEVER want it to end!

Welcome to Melburners “Liminal Playground".

[An event in two chapters!]

A sensory playground for the mind - full of art; transformative spaces; music and performances - brought to you by the local Melburner (Burning Man) community.

Every good party has a theme.

This year, the spooks are restless. 👻

And…damn it….they just want their Halloween party early! 🎃

Get your inner “ghost” or “ghoulie” ready. Dress as your favourite creature feature. And break free from your mortal shackles....

For an afternoon of family friendly burner chaos (1-8pm) at Abbots Yard, Abbotsford

….before crossing the liminal twilight at the breaking of the day...

…to an evening of darker devilish delights in the Sub-Liminal (9pm-4am) at New Guernica, Collingwood.
