Events & Performers
Most things at InterFuse are spontaneous, but some things do happen at scheduled times.
Midwest Burners/InterFuse does not book performers or entertainers for our events. YOU create the entertainment as a free gift to everyone else! Please remember that the point of InterFuse is to give gifts and make friends rather than to promote to a consumer base.
Tell the Event Planners about your InterFuse event or performance by April 16th to get it listed here and in the Front Gate Handout. This will make people more aware of your event (and you'll get more participants).
Use the form at the bottom of this page to get your event or performance listed.
NEWS UPDATE FOR 2009: The time for Saturday's Main Effigy Burn has been changed from midnight to 10:00 PM. Tell your neighbors!
