🎭 BaM Society Presents: Ocean Beach Man Burn – Real Democracy Edition 📅 Friday, August 30 | ⏰ Sunset – Late | 📍 Ocean Beach Fire Pits, SF 🔥 Free | Bring your crew, your voice, and something to burn “No kings. Just us.” Join us for the next BaM Society gathering—an Ocean Beach Man Burn in sync with the main burn in Black Rock City. This year’s theme: REAL DEMOCRACY. We’re turning the beach into a living, breathing civic experiment. Expect: • 🎨 Interactive art & installations on truth, governance, and what it means to belong • 🔥 Mini man burns — bring a small sculpture, idea, or illusion to let go of • 🎤 Open mic & dialogue circles — speak your truth, witness others • 🕯️ Rituals for reconnection — to self, to others, to possibility This isn’t a protest. It’s a prototype. In an age of division, what does it look like to gather across difference—with beauty, honesty, and real connection? Come explore the first in a series of “Festivals of Democracy” designed to transform polarization into culture, conversation, and collective imagination. Hosted by: BaM Society + Real Democracy What to bring: Something to burn, warm layers, food to share, instruments, open hearts
