The Love Burn Brings Burning Man to South Florida
Glen Gray, lead event organizer at Virginia Key Beach Park’s Love Burn, is riding around in a golf cart, greeting old friends and assessing the progress of the park’s transformation. By the end of the week, the park, now just bare bones and building blocks of colorful circus-like tents, will be transformed into another world, or more accurately, dozens of worlds.
“Narnia,” “The Temple of Love,” and “The Landing of the Mothership” are just some of the names of the utopias that will be constructed by the time the park opens for revelers this Friday night…. by Celia Almeida | January 22, 2018. Read more.
Love Burn Brought Group Hugs, Raver Fashion, and Dinosaur Installations to Virginia Key
“The group hugs are the first clue there are definitely some genuine connections — whether artificially enhanced by touchy love drugs. Everywhere you turned, groups of people were hugging and lying in stoned cuddle puddles under fire-lit geodesic domes on the sands of Virginia Key Beach Park. Couples made out on the grass next to fire installations. Others raved beneath a jungle gym crafted for an adult dance party. Attendees dressed as those they wish to be in daily life — whether in animal costumes, rave-wear, or partially nude — creating a world where burning art installations takes precedence over the outside world…” by Celia Almeida | January 29, 2018.

Miami New Times Mention #3 – Woo Hoo!
The Best Things to Do in Miami This Weekend
Miami has far too unique a nightlife to sit around at the same house parties or in the same clubs week after week. If you’re looking for a new adventure this weekend, the Love Burn at Virginia Key Beach Park promises a psychedelic Burning Man experience all weekend long, right here in South Florida.
PHOTO TOUR by Journalist
Burning Man brought its regional world fair to Historic Virginia Key Beach January 26 through 28 for a Miami-style Love Burn in one of the few U.S. cities still comfortable this time of year. Burners were invited to re-imagine the world we live in as they wish it were, while contributing to a uniquely communal and creatively constructed festival experience. Photography by Karli Evans. See pictures.
The Love Burn, South Florida’s Burning Man, reigniting on Virginia Key
“The Love Burn, for the uninitiated, is South Florida’s version of the massive Burning Man arts festival that attracts revelers every August to the scorching desert of Black Rock City, Nev. Virginia Key won’t be nearly that blistering, but it will get hot: The Love Burn is three days of off-the-grid community fun, sun salutations, costumes, circus-like tents, performance art and parlor games.” Read more.

$how me the money!
Want to see where your ticket dollars went? If you sponsored an art project, then you got to see it, interact with it, play with it and take a hundred photos, but….if you bought a ticket, where did the money go?
The list is long and financials will be posted online soon. But just for reference, your ticket dollars went to venue rental, fencing, wristbands, gifts, porta-potties, bathroom cleaning, venue clean up, fire department, city permits, insurance, generators, propane, fuel, security, medical support, and much, much more. We tried to be frugal, but lots of little costs add up to one very large bill. We could not have done it without your countless hours of volunteer work.

We love pictures. Please share your with us. Be sure to include your name so we can credit you.
