Virtual Burn 2021
“The time has come,’ the Walrus said” – Lewis Carroll
It’s a wrap! While the official Virtual Burn concluded in September 2021, the experiences, collaborative relationships, and new connections that emerged continue to resonate. This is why we burn — to imagine, plan, create, share, and celebrate in ways that support the ongoing evolution of our vibrant global community.
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
Meet the Worlds! Each built by an independent team of wildly creative Burners, and each a magical door into adventures of connection, collaboration, and imagination. Discover all the ways YOU can participate!

BURN2 is the first sanctioned Burning Man regional in the virtual world. Burning Man has always had a presence in Second Life since its beginning in 2003 and BURN2 is the latest incarnation of an international Burning Man community. Today, BURN2 occupies one SIM region in the Second Life world year-round called Deep Hole, with 1 to 12 extra SIM regions added during special events. It is run by a community of volunteer staff that includes people involved directly with Burning Man, along with seasoned Second Life programmers and digital artists with a genuine interest in Burning Man.
