When a group of Pittsburgh Burners thought to themselves: "What makes
Burning Man special?" the answer was resounding: harsh conditions,
amazing art, good people. And what harsh conditions were available?
Winter, of course...cold, snowy, Pittsburgh winter. And thus
"Frostburn" was born.

Imagine the climatic opposite of Burning Man: not a Playa but a
Tundra, where ice and snow join fire and steam as mediums... Where
sharing warmth is not just a figure of speech, but a necessity. Where
radical self-reliance and communal effort are critical for human
survival...

Frostburn is now entering its third year and has thus far been a
resounding success in bringing people together, showing off new art,
and reminding us why we liked to play in the snow in the first place.
We've had sweat lodges, viking ships, giant burning snowmen, naked Mr.
Rogers sing-alongs, and even full service sports bars serving
pierogies. Not to mention the normal snow-ball battles, polar bear
plunges, sledding and other winter activities. One of the most
rewarding things, however, has been seeing people realize what they
can do....huge contingents bringin' it from climates where the
temperature never sees 50 (go Alchemy crew!), while others have come
back just because they realized what they can do. Plus it's made hot
chocolate all the sweeter...

Frostburn has some amenities...limited electrical sites, RV access, a
heated bathroom...but more and more, people have been creating warm
spaces for people to gather and be together and share stories
(umm...and party). Won't you join us?

We are now also seeking theme camps, art projects and performances!!!
Frostburn takes place 50 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA over
Presidents' day weekend: February 12-15th. Tickets start at $35 and
are on sale now at www.frostburnpgh.com
