Summerisle 2026

Summerisle Burn 🔥 2026

Summerisle Burn is not-for-profit arts community and event inspired by the principles of Burning Man but is not affiliated with the Burning Man Regional Network.

Summerisle can be described as a wild, wonderful, expressive arts community that co-creates a temporary Thing in the Allegheny mountains of Pennsylvania each summer solstice that's planned, built, and directed by every participant working together to create our shared experience.

There are no spectators.

We abide by and with the principles of radical self-expression, participative do-ocracy, communal effort, radical inclusivity, immediacy, radical self-reliance, gifting, decommodification, civic responsibility, leaving no trace, and consensual interaction. Our community is built on and thrives by these ideals. Join us!
