Black Rock City sets this rhythm; the regionals mirror it in miniature. burnmanager ships with the calendar of your burn built in.
Why free
Free means free.
burnmanager is a gift to the community that taught the world how to build cities out of nothing. No ads, no selling your data, no pay-to-skip-work mechanics, no premium tier that holds your roster hostage. Camps run on contribution; so does this.
We build festival software for a living at festival.productions. burnmanager is the same craft, gifted to burns. That is the whole business model, and it is enough.
Pre-season
First camps ride in 2027.
We are building through the winter with a handful of camps from Black Rock City and the European regionals. Want yours to be one of them?
