Summerisle Burn is inspired by the principles of Burning Man but is not affiliated with the Burning Man Regional Network.

Summerisle Burn 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 burn.

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!

Tickets will not be available at Gate this year. All tickets must be purchased online. There will be no day passes available. Very limited ice may be available at Gate depending on your time of entry. Please consider purchasing your ice here ahead of time. No change for cash will be available at Gate. Exact change only. Overages will gratefully be considered a generous donation to the Summerisle Burn General Fund. Credit and debit will be accepted.

Please "purchase" a free parking pass if you are leaving your vehicle in parking overnight. This helps us count vehicles and get a better idea of our parking capacity so that we may work to accommodate everyone. These parking passes are separate from RV passes. If you plan to RV or bus camp, please register at
