ABOUT
Burn Out Bizarre: Your One-Stop Burner Shop
In case of Burn Out, Stop, Shop and Jol! Discover everything you need to survive and thrive in the desert under one roof, in a fun and theatrical way. Why spend your day in a crowded mall when you can support local creators, get your groove on, and connect with kindred spirits who share your passion for life in the dust?
Event Details – March 22
Due to popular demand from last year, our inaugural fashion-focused market returns with not one, but two exclusive fashion shows—each featuring a unique selection of local vendors. This particular event highlights sustainable fashion, hosting a dynamic mix of thrift stores and built-to-last brands alongside our creative showcases. Bring your previously loved festival clothing and swap them at our swap shop in exchange for a donation to the Peace Dragon.
Replacing Sequins with Scales:
On this day, we proudly launch Peace Dragon Apparel—a zero-waste clothing collection inspired by, and supporting, the Peace Dragon. Crafted largely from surplus premium 100% white organic cotton t-shirts, this range transforms potential waste into wearable art.

Supporting a Greater Cause
This year, a portion of our proceeds will benefit both the Phoenix and the Peace Dragon.
About the Phoenix:
The Phoenix is our mutant vehicle symbolizing transformation. This innovative truck roams the playa towing a lounge trailer, inviting festival-goers to experience its dynamic energy. From the transformative flames of the Phoenix in 2025, the Peace Dragon will rise in 2026. In a powerful symbol of rebirth, we’re creating a ceremonial egg that will be burned to unveil the soul of the dragon.
About the Peace Dragon:
The Peace Dragon is both a peace movement and an awe-inspiring art installation—a giant white dragon that illuminates in every colour of the rainbow after dark. It reminds us that peace and love start from within, encouraging you to tap into bliss through playful connection. Twice daily, the Peace Dragon takes flight to a new resting spot on the playa. While grounded, she offers sanctuary under her expansive wings, creating a quadraphonic listening experience for live performances and electronic music.
Join us for an unforgettable celebration of art, fashion, and transformation at Burn Out Bizarre—where the desert comes alive and every moment sparks inspiration!
