Event Details

HullabalU is an all-ages afterburn event that upholds the ideals of the Burning Man Festival. It is generally a time when burners old and new can gather to discuss the burn season, make plans for future gatherings, and have a crazy good time with their burner family. Come celebrate with Midwest Burners and many, many others as we extend this social phenomenon into America's Heartland! Midwest Burners is a diverse group of people, young and old, who never get the Burning Man Festival out of their blood - nor do they want to. They come from places all across the United States (not just the Midwest), socialize frequently, and keep in touch through the Midwest Burners Yahoo! Group, meet, throw parties, make friends and have a great time camping.

Haven't been to Burning Man? No worries! Many Midwest Burners have never been to Burning Man but are drawn to it because of the close friendships and spontaneous culture it produces. The laid back atmosphere of HullabalU makes it a great event to introduce yourself to the community.

How Can I Participate?

We Burners value participation, interactivity, self-expression and gifting, among other things. These values permeate our gatherings and can serve as a guide for newcomers wondering how they can contribute to the event.

Have you ever been to a party and thought something was missing, but someone else was throwing the party so you enjoyed it the best you could? Well, here is your chance to bring your crazy flair to HullabalU because, after all, it’s your event.

Below are some examples of our ideals in action. This is a list of ideas for participating and things that you can expect to experience at HullabalU:

  • Performance: At many Burner events you will see firedancing and open drum circles. However, performance can also encompass things such as fashion shows, juggling, DJing, playing in bands, presenting skits, doing stand-up comedy, or organizing spontaneous parades, to name just a few ideas.
  • Be A Good Citizen: We are actually creating a temporary town, of which you will be a citizen. Participate by treating the land and the Ozark Avalon facility with respect. Don’t create litter, pick up your trash, and Leave No Trace at the end of the event. Also, respect other people and their forms of self-expression. If you can’t handle seeing public semi-nudity, don't come.
  • Volunteer: HullabalU runs on the efforts of responsible volunteers. Want to get involved? Check out the Volunteer page. There are lots of fun positions open.
  • Create: Art is the centerpiece of our gatherings, our main vehicle of interaction! You can manifest your creativity in many ways. Many times small touches make the deepest impact. Make and wear costumes and/or bodypaint. Create interactive games. Give unique gifts to people you meet and folks who are providing you with a good time. Another method of gifting is to contribute to a Theme Camp. Are they serving drinks? Contribute alcohol or cups. Is it a lounge? See if they want to add that bean bag you brought. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
