July 22, 2026 — Burn2, the official virtual extension of Burning Man® in Second Life®, invites residents from around the virtual world between July 24-26, to experience this community-created art event. This year's “The First Spark” event brings together artists, builders, musicians, performers, educators, and dreamers for an immersive celebration of creativity, connection, and participation.
Inspired by the 10 Principles of Burning Man in the real world, Burn2 transforms an expansive virtual desert into a temporary city filled with monumental art installations, live music, colorful events, themed camps, interactive exhibits, and performances.
All are welcome to:
Experience 27 live performances featuring DJs, musicians, and entertainers on the Main Stage and BOB Stage throughout the weekend.
Explore community-created art installations, theme camps, and interactive experiences across Burn2’s Deep Hole region.
Enjoy special featured events including The Burn2 Fashionistas, unique performances, and community gatherings.
Meet artists, performers, builders, and Burners from around the world while celebrating the 10 Principles through creativity, participation, and shared experiences in a virtual environment.
Join the Lamplighters Processions and witness spectacular Fire Dance performances that bring the spirit of Burn2 to life. Held twice on the final day, the processions immediately precede each Effigy Burn.
Gather with the community for The First Spark Effigy Burn, the event's signature ceremonial feature. Held twice on the final day, it stands as the emotional high point of Burn2.

One of Burn2's greatest strengths is diversity. Every installation reflects the imagination and passion of its creator, resulting in an environment where visitors can experience everything from breathtaking architecture to immersive resident created exhibits, to thought-provoking educational exhibits and whimsical fantasy worlds.
Burn2 encourages exploration, curiosity, and participation. Every visitor is free to wander, interact, ask questions, meet new people, and become part of the experience.
Whether you are a longtime Burner or visiting Burn2 for the first time, the event offers a welcoming environment where creativity, generosity, and community take center stage.
Admission is free and open to everyone with a Second Life account.
