    Please note: We are printing a LIMITED QUANTITY Event Listings for POrtalBurn 2025. We ask Burners to please use the Dust app, or to print your own, because… Radical Self Reliance. We will also list Events on a white board each day at the TIT during POrtalBurn.

  • The Burrow is the indoor lodge space with a deck overlooking the pond that you can use to host events! It will have a sound system with a mixer and microphone.

    If you wish to use the sound system you MUST reserve the space. Past BOD member Nataraj has kindly offered to supply a PA system, audio mixer, cables, one microphone on a stand, and a DJ table. All a DJ needs is their controller/decks plug them in and go. Treat his equipment with love and care!

    Please limit your reservations to 2 hour time slots including MOOP sweep time! If you host an event in the Burrow, YOU are responsible for ensuring its care and LEAVING NO TRACE. Thank you!

    Use the request form to see the schedule and reserve The Burrow for your event. Do not forget to list your event in the HELP Guide also!

    Burrow hours will be listed soon, but it usually closed down from 2 AM to 10 AM.
