What is the burning mountain festival?Burning Mountain Festival is a 4 days experience of radical self expression and self commitment. It's not about consuming, it is about participating. The goal of the Festival is all about community and culture. It’s an open canvas where you can leave your marks. It’s a social survival camp. As our social life is transforming more and more into a digital way, we want to be able to connect and exchange and interact “offline” with each other.
