EVENT GUIDE

Lakes of Fire’s WhatWhereWhen event guide is a labor of love that’s assembled by the info_bot team, with content created by you. We accept submissions for events that you or your theme camp intend to make happen during Lakes of Fire.

We gather info about Theme Camps, Mutant Vehicles, and Art Grants as well as an abbreviated Survival Guide and roll that together, and make a print at home guide that is available to everyone. 

In order to keep expanding print costs to a minimum and ensure we keep waste as low as possible, we curently do not print general participant copies. We send out the .pdf version in the last lakes email and post on all of the socials.  You can also always get all of the details are in our digital WWW during the event. 

Q: How do I submit an event?

A: Log in to whatwherewhen.lakesoffire.org between when the the announcement of the form opening and the last day of the event. the 2025 deadline to have your event included in the print WWW is June 16, 2025. You can use your Facebook or Google profile.  (Other than your name and an individual token, we do not record any information from your profile. This is just a unique identifier.)

Q: I made a mistake!  How do I change my event’s description/date/title/location?

A: Just log in the same way you did when you submitted the event – click on your event and change whatever you need.

Q: What events are accepted?

A: We have a few rules for events:

• It has to be legal – legal federally, in the state, and the county. If it looks illegal, we won’t print it.
• It has to be something that everyone can potentially see-if you wouldn’t do it in front of an all ages crowd then we won’t print it.
• It has to be decommodified. If you’re giving away necklaces, that’s awesome, but selling/buying things or promoting a business are never cool.
• Please don’t submit test events.
• Copyright infringement. Enough said.
• Duplicates. If multiple people submit the same event for the same date and time, we will delete them. It is possible that we may make an assumption that is incorrect, however room is very tight in our printed guide so make sure to check with others in your theme camp before submitting events.

Q: My really long event description got truncated, what gives?

While your description is, we’re sure, very clever, we need to conserve space for the print guide.  Line breaks will not translate, and we will use our best judgment on trimming long events so they still make sense. If you don’t want our fingers on your event description, be concise!

Q: Can I view other events online?

Yes! You can use the digital WWW that will allow you to search, favorite, and create a schedule for yourself. It is available without internet and new this year we will have a walk up kiosk available at the FunctionJunction for

Q: Do you have an online app?

A: We do and more details can be found on our digital WWW page.
