Fire and flow in Black rock City!

Vulcan Empire is headed back to Black Rock City for 2025!

Last year was we took a much needed rest, but we’re committed to 2025 and can’t wait to get dusty!

In 2023 We taught over 25 workshops, hosted an epic rope dart battle, and over 50 burners spun their first fire! 2025 is shaping up to be EVEN BETTER!

 

Creating a welcome space for fire, flow, and friends.

Vulcan Empire is the best place in Black Rock City to learn skills, level up, and meet talented fire and flow artists on playa. We aim to be an openhearted, interesting, easy going place to call home in the craziest city on the planet.
