What is Safety Third?

Safety Third is a participatory weekend for supporters of regional Burning Man events to share knowledge about their cores (organization subsections of larger burns like Luna / Firefly) and develop ways of working and playing together. We invite volunteers from all burns to attend Safety Third as a way to share knowledge, build connections and strengthen our bonds as a community, and have a lot of fun.

If you've led a core at a Burn, or helped organize a burn, or have skills that would be useful to core leads, or want to learn what goes into making this event happen, come to Safety Third, teach what you know, learn, and help us all become more awesome.

Safety Third 2026 will be held on May 8-10 at the Tempest House in Winchendon, MA.
