Announcing… Aurora 2026!!
Wednesday 18th to Monday 23rd November, 2026
Aurora is a six-day, five-night participatory Burning event in Southern Tasmania. This November, we invite you to play, create, and connect at our stunning site in Buckland.
An Aurora is a dance of light across the sky, born when charged energy meets the Earth’s magnetic field. Our event mirrors that magic – an unpredictable, organic convergence of community, artistry, and radical self-expression.
What will YOU bring to the light this year?
Join us in Buckland in November 2026 and help create something extraordinary.
Stay tuned on our facebook event page, or sign up to be a member for emails about when you can purchase tickets, and other important info! 
What is a Burn?
A burn is not a festival in the usual way- but it certainly feels like a celebration and often has music and dancing!
A Burn is co-created by its participants – built, shared, celebrated, and then returned to nothing by all of us together. There are no vendors, no advertising, no curated program. There is only you, me, and the gifts we share.
You are responsible for your own survival: food, water, shelter, fuel, and basic first aid. Together, we are responsible for the collective experience and the success of Aurora. This is a space for radical participation, gifting, and community – and it only works because YOU make it happen.
Burns are guided by the 11 Principles. They consist of;
- Radical Inclusion
- Gifting
- Decommodification
- Radical Self-Reliance
- Radical Self Expression
- Communal Effort
- Civic Responsibility
- Leave No Trace
- Participation
- Immediacy
- Consent (very important! more like a rule than a principle)
Read more about them here!
Closer to the event we will put a link to the 2026 survival guide here, but for now, have a look at the Aurora 2025 survival guide to get an idea about what to expect.

PACT hosts a ‘Burning Pub’ every 3rd Thursday of the month in Hobart. This is a great place to gather with like minded legends to share inspiration, excitement and smiles. Who knows what beautiful and ridiculous ideas will come to life for the next event?!
