Lakes Letter-August 14, 2025
Thank You Volunteers!
A massive THANK YOU to every single volunteer who fueled the fire and kept the weird alive at Lakes of Fire! From building mind-blowing art and wrangling logistics, to keeping things safe, lit, and running on time (or at least on fire), your sweat, smarts, and spirit made this wild experiment not just possible, but extraordinary. Your effort is the backbone of the burn, and every flame, sculpture, dance floor, and chaotic moment of beauty exists because of you. We see you. We appreciate you. And we’re in awe.

Feedback is a Gift
Got Thoughts? We’re Listening (No, Really.)
The dust has settled (mostly), the embers have cooled, and now we want to hear from you. Your feedback—whether it’s glowing praise, constructive critique, or wild ideas for the future—is a gift that helps us grow, improve, and keep the Lakes of Fire experience weird, fiery, and full of heart.
We especially want to hear from you about the event as a whole and from anyone who used or interacted with the Mobility Team—your insights are vital for shaping a more accessible burn.
Now, real talk: while we can’t implement every single suggestion, every response is read, considered, and appreciated. Your voice matters. Next year is always better: Event Survey and Mobility Survey
