Embrace the Magic and Mystery at YOUtopia 2024!

Calling All Burners and Cosmic Dreamers!

The post-Burning Man celebration doesn’t stop in San Francisco! Just a few days later, the energy travels south to Jacumba, CA, where the magic of Burning Man will come alive once more at YOUtopia 2024. From October 16th to 20th, YOUtopia is your chance to reconnect, revel, and unleash your creative spirit during San Diego’s official Burning Man regional event.

What is YOUtopia?

For the uninitiated, YOUtopia is San Diego’s version of Burning Man – a multi-day event dedicated to the same culture, creativity, and guiding principles of radical self-expression, communal effort, and participation. This year’s YOUtopia will be hosted at the stunning De Anza Springs Resort, located just outside Jacumba Hot Springs. Imagine a lush oasis nestled in the California desert, where Burners of all kinds gather to continue the celebration of art, community, and freedom.

The YOUtopia 2024 Theme: The Cosmic Masquerade

Each year, YOUtopia embraces a new theme designed to ignite the imaginations of all who attend. This year’s theme is The Cosmic Masquerade! What happens when the mysteries of the universe collide with the colorful pageantry of a masquerade ball? Expect the unexpected as theme camps, costumes, and art installations transform the desert into an intergalactic wonderland where the stars above are your guide and every mask tells a new story.

Unleash Your Creativity: Be the Art

At YOUtopia, it’s all about being yourself and letting your creativity run wild. Here, you are not just a spectator—you are the art. Whether you’re wearing an elaborate costume, contributing an art piece, or simply expressing yourself in new ways, YOUtopia is the place to become the art you love. Let your imagination take center stage as you participate in this cosmic celebration.

Music: From Serenity to High-Energy Beats

Music is the heartbeat of YOUtopia, and throughout the event, you’ll find an endless variety of sounds to suit every mood. From established sound camps to spontaneous jams, music at YOUtopia is appreciated in all forms. Whether you prefer the peaceful vibes of sound circles or want to lose yourself in a high-energy dance party, the music is a reflection of the event’s diversity and individuality. Here, every beat has a place, and every rhythm is celebrated.

YOUtopia: Where Individuality Shines

At its core, YOUtopia is about you. This event is designed to be a space where you can truly be yourself and explore your individuality in whatever form it takes.

Whether you’re building a theme camp, performing, or just soaking in the sights and sounds, YOUtopia is where you can express your truest self.

What is a Burning Man Regional Event?

Though Burning Man itself only happens once a year, the ethos and culture of the Playa are celebrated year-round through regional events held around the globe. These gatherings, like YOUtopia, carry forward the spirit of the Burn, allowing participants to connect, create, and live the Ten Principles in their local communities. YOUtopia is part of this worldwide network, bringing the essence of Burning Man to Southern California while celebrating the unique flavor of the San Diego region.

PARTICIPATE: Be a Cosmic Creator
