Weather and road conditions are always a wildcard. Please follow the official feed @PlayaDelFuego on Twitter to get first hand reports of site conditions.
If it gets wet enough and onsite road conditions get mushy this may be known as the "cicada mud burn" and it may become a "carry in, carry out" event.

TICKETING HOURS - Spring 2013:
Thursday 5pm - Friday 2am
Friday 9am - Saturday 2am
Saturday 9am - Saturday 8pm
Sunday: Closed
Monday: Closed
Please make arrangement to be at ticketing prior to the gates closing each night. Anyone showing up after hours without a wrist band will be asked to leave the grounds until the following morning when the gate re-opens. No one is allowed to sleep in the parking lots over night.
If you already have your ticket scanned and have a wristband, you will be able to leave and come back after hours, but please note you will not be allowed to drive your car on site to load/unload while the gates are closed.
New arrivals showing up at the gate on Sunday prior to 7pm will still be able to enter, however, there may be a small wait while the GOD or Coordinator is contacted to come to the front with the wristbands and ticketing computer. Please be patient during this process, we will get you into the event as quickly as possible.

Hey, hey you there, did you know that PDF is a 100% Volunteer run event and anyone and everyone can be a mad sexy rockin' volunteer. We heart volunteers and volunteering just makes you feel good and that's a yay ;-)
The True Experience of a Burn comes from being Pro-Active. The more you give the more you will receive.
The Volunteer system is now live and accepting volunteers signups for all positions.
Thank you for wanting so sincerely to volunteer. Without you the event would not happen or it would but we'd all be standing in a confused huddle in the parking lot with no one to take our ticket and no potties, art, or firewood.

It's our pleasure to announce that this spring's Pony effigy will be built by Camp Buffalo under the direction of Bob the Builder.
These artists have previously given our community such works of burning art as
"Burning Bitch" at PDF 2001
"Carved Rocking Horse" at PDF 2003 and
"Memorial Tower" at PDF Spring 2008
The artists will receive a grant from PDF to build and transport their pony to the VVMC, as well as two reserved tickets to purchase for themselves.
Please join me in congratulating the winning artists.

Every burn needs great interactive art for the community, by the community. Playa del Fuego is seeking some great art pieces to enhance the community's experience of the event. Do you have a great idea you are dying to see come to life? Are you somewhat organized and can help us help you make this happen? What are you waiting for? Apply now!
Art Grant Applications Are Due:
Round 1: By February 25th 2013 Round one of art grant applications will be for projects that require more time to build. There will be a question on the application regarding whether the artist would like the project considered during round two, if it isn't funded in round one.
Round 2: By March 7th 2013 Round Two is available for last minute ideas and applications from people who didn't get tickets through other channels and are eager for reserved tickets.
