Be part of it. Participate.
You know the feeling. You step in. You help out. Suddenly you are not just there… you are part of what makes it all happen.
Where the Sheep Sleep runs on those moments. On people who raise their hand and say, “I’ve got this.”
ONE BURNER, ONE SHIFT
Right now, these are the roles where you make the biggest impact:
🔥 SheepTime Leads /go/JQjvfsK Like knowing what is going on? This is your role. You keep the overview, support volunteers, and make sure the day flows. Light leadership, big impact.
🚐 Transport Team /go/DSopcNP Got a license? You are gold. You jump in when needed, fix last-minute chaos, and keep the city moving.
🔊 Sound Crew /go/rEhhcAb You keep the music alive and the vibes right. Balance the sound, support the setup, avoid trouble.
🎭 Stage Managers /go/AzPtduk Run the show. You guide a stage, keep things on time, and make sure every act gets their moment.
💡 Light Crew /go/ByjVmDH When the sun sets, you take over. You turn Black Flock City into something magical.
🧹 Strike /go/uQzkRaX You are the final act. You help pack it all down and leave no trace. This is how we get to come back.
👉 Shifts longer than 3 hours include a meal.
Pick what fits you. Or try something new. Grab your shift before someone else does.
You are not just coming to the burn.You are the reason it works.

🔥CALLING ALL ARTISTS!🔥
Want to unleash your creativity at Where the Sheep Sleep 2026?

🎨✨ Burning Man is known for its highly interactive and experimental art pieces. Where viewers complete the artwork, can touch it, activate it or otherwise interact with it. Each year we welcome great artists and we would be honored to welcome many more.

✨ New here? DreamCamps are a great way to belong.
DreamCamps are groups of people who come together to co‑create something meaningful on the playa — art, spaces, rituals, fun, care, or connection. Everything is imagined, built, and shared by the community itself.
You can join an existing DreamCamp (many are looking for new members right now), start one of your own, or choose to free camp. There’s no right way — just what feels right for you.
If you’re curious, open, and excited to create something together, a DreamCamp might be your entry point.
✨ This is what happens when community becomes the power.

❤️🔥 Welcome Home: Co-Create the Heart of WtSS 2026! ❤️🔥
Center Camp is the social heart of the Playa. It’s a "Living Room for the Soul"—a space defined not by its plywood, but by the people inside it. This year the Center Camp team concentrates on building dedicated space for games, spontaneous workshops, skill-sharing, and radical self-expression.
🏠 What is "Home" to you?
Is it a spontaneous workshop? A deep conversation in a cozy corner? A performance that invites everyone to join in? We are looking for co-creators to help us fill Center Camp with life.
We are looking for:
• Workshop Leads: Share a skill, a craft, or a radical idea.
• Performers & Dreamers: Acoustic sets, spoken word, or movement that breaks the "stage vs. audience" barrier.
• Space Makers: Help us facilitate "niks moeten" through connection and radical inclusion.
• Your Unique Spark: If it fosters connection, education, or self-expression, it belongs here.
✨ No Spectators, Only Participants
Center Camp is a laboratory for human connection, and it only works if you bring your energy. Whether you want to host a formal session or just have a wild idea for an interactive moment, we want to hear it!
Don't be a stranger—be a co-creator. > Beam your proposals and wild ideas over via the forms below. Our digital mailbox is open!

All the shifts!
One burner one shift
At a Burn, everyone participates. One simple way to do that is by taking a shift- or even two!
Taking a shift means you help make the event run. You support a team and become part of what’s happening around you. No experience needed. You get clear guidance.
Do you feel ready to take on a bit more responsibility this year? Become a SheepTime Lead, take on leadership for a day to help coordinate other volunteers & help the event more smoothly. Think of it as a co-lead position, with a bit of extra sheepy pizzazz ✨
Not sure where you fit? Read on. There is something for everyone. Cooking, building, or making sure people feel welcome.
Choose your role. Show up. Be part of it.

Het wereldberoemde Burning Man (@burningmannl ) komt naar Nijmegen!
Van 16 t/m 19 april 2026 vindt de 11e editie van de European Leadership Summit plaats op het NYMA- (@nyma_nijmegen ) en Vasim-terrein. Internationale deelnemers komen samen rond creativiteit, community en leiderschap, met workshops, gesprekken en co-creatie onder het thema “The Art of Becoming”.
Op zondag 19 april is de grote, openbare afsluiting: WaalPlaya. Vanaf 13.00 verandert het gebied langs de Waal in een creatieve playground vol kunstinstallaties, performances, muziek en spontane acties. Hier ben je geen toeschouwer, maar deelnemer: meedoen staat centraal. Verwacht bijzondere (inter)nationale kunstprojecten, rijdende kunstwerken en verrassende samenwerkingen uit heel Europa. 🌍️
Om 17.00 uur wordt de dag afgesloten met een symbolisch moment: het verbranden van een houten sculptuur. 🔥
Wil je zelf bijdragen met een act, kunst of performance? Dat kan!
Lees het volledige programma en ontdek hoe je mee kunt doen via de link in bio.
Het event wordt georganiseerd door Burning Man Project (@burningman ), European Leadership Summit en 50/50 Fest (@5050_fest )
