What is Wicked Burn
Wicked Burn is an inclusive community that ignites creativity, self-expression, and community inspired by Burning Man’s 11 Principles. Rooted in Maine’s rustic woods, it’s a collaborative space for art, personal growth, and shared experiences. We are committed to inclusivity, sustainability, and leaving a positive impact while celebrating the transformative power of participation.
Nocturnal Bloom
The theme for Wicked Burn 2026 is "Nocturnal Bloom" . Prepare yourselves for a weekend hidden deep in the beautiful, virgin Maine woods, where art and music unfurl after dark like wildflowers. By day, the forest hums softly—sunlight filtering through pines, art tucked between mossy stones, canvases hung in the trees, and strangers becoming collaborators, then community. By night, the woods transform: glowing installations pulse among the trunks, firelight flickers across faces, and sound drifts through the leaves in waves. The nighttime is the right time. This is when we bloom.
