Decompression 2026: Oakland Edition! Vol II

Decompression 2026: Oakland Edition! Vol. II Mark your calendars — Decompression returns on Saturday, October 17th, running 2pm–12am (the party keeps going indoors until 3am)! This is our community's chance to bring a little bit of Black Rock City back home and blend with the rich culture of Oakland! Join us for an all day and night gathering built on the same spirit that makes Burning Man what it is: sharing stories, showing up for one another, and dancing to great bass. Expect a full day of family-friendly programming, multiple stages of curated music and performances, indoor and outdoor art installations, hands-on maker demos, workshops, a mini film festival, Oakland and Bay Area nonprofit partners, and the kind of kooky chaos only this community can pull off. We heard your feedback, so Burning Man Decompression is returning for its second year at The Loom art & cultural center in historic Jingletown, Oakland. Whether you're a longtime burner or a Bay Area local who's never set foot
