Calling All Burners and Cosmic Dreamers!
The post-Burning Man celebration doesn’t stop in San Francisco!

From October 16th to 20th, YOUtopia is your chance to reconnect, revel, and unleash your creative spirit during San Diego’s official Burning Man regional event.
What is YOUtopia?
For the uninitiated, YOUtopia is San Diego’s version of Burning Man – a multi-day event dedicated to the same culture, creativity, and guiding principles of radical self-expression, communal effort, and participation. This year’s YOUtopia will be hosted at the stunning De Anza Springs Resort, located just outside Jacumba Hot Springs. Imagine a lush oasis nestled in the California desert, where Burners of all kinds gather to continue the celebration of art, community, and freedom.
The YOUtopia 2024 Theme: The Cosmic Masquerade
Each year, YOUtopia embraces a new theme designed to ignite the imaginations of all who attend. This year’s theme is The Cosmic Masquerade! What happens when the mysteries of the universe collide with the colorful pageantry of a masquerade ball? Expect the unexpected as theme camps, costumes, and art installations transform the desert into an intergalactic wonderland where the stars above are your guide and every mask tells a new story.

What is a Burning Man Regional Event?
Though Burning Man itself only happens once a year, the ethos and culture of the Playa are celebrated year-round through regional events held around the globe. These gatherings, like YOUtopia, carry forward the spirit of the Burn, allowing participants to connect, create, and live the Ten Principles in their local communities. YOUtopia is part of this worldwide network, bringing the essence of Burning Man to Southern California while celebrating the unique flavor of the San Diego region.
