Decom2026: Liminal Playground (day) / Sub-Liminal (night)

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.
