SECOND ROUND OF GENERAL TICKET SALES ARE LIVE NOW!!

We are using a new ticketing platform that requires every ticket holder to create a unique account on https://midwestburners.volunteeripate.com/.

Everyone will need to make their own unique account to attend the event. Unlike previous years, you cannot just show your ID at the gate to let in an individual whose ticket is under your name. Making a volunteeripate account is a part of our gate process this year, so everyone needs to make a unique account.

We highly suggest using the same email that you use for volunteer shifts as the direct presale links will be sent to those email addresses.

Ticket Prices will be 75$ each for general admission. Children under 12 are $1.

General sale pools people will have the opportunity to buy up to 3 tickets and transfers will be open until Saturday, May 11. Please remember that EACH attendee must have a unique volunteeripate account associated with a single, unique ticket to the event. The ONLY exception is minors who may be registered under their parent/guardian account who houses the ticket.

The second round of ticket sales will be on Saturday, April 6th  at Noon central time.


Do you want to build an effigy, Elsa?

Come help build the 2024 Interfuse effigy! If you have construction or carpentry skills, this is where to sign up. If you’ve got tools, please bring them.
Shifts before May 14th will be in Fayetteville Arkansas and do not require volunteers to have a ticket to Interfuse. On-site Effigy build will take place Wednesday (great opportunity for those seeking early entry!) and Thursday.


DMV: Art Cars

Art Cars! Art Cars! We love our art cars! Are you bringing an art car to Interfuse?  Applications are open! 

Applications are due by May 8th! 

Art cars have to be approved by the DMV before the burn so make sure you get that application in!

Once you get to the burn, come see us at the volunteer kitchen across from the showers to check in and get your DMV Permit!  All cars moving on site need to have their permit displayed! 

Looking forward to all the crazy and fun creations for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil!


Cars and RVs

The vehicle camping pass request form is now live. All vehicles that will be parked within a Theme Camp or in Open Camping will require a Vehicle Camping Pass.

Our goal is to limit the number of vehicles within the burn. This improves our ability to respond to emergencies but also decreases default world intrusion, and generally makes a prettier landscape.  In addition, please make an effort to decommodify your vehicle to the best of your ability.

This form will remain open until ticket transfers close. Approvals will start to go out 30 days prior to the burn.


Bringing an event? Let us know!

Are you planning an event for Interfuse?

We will publish events in the PDF Event Guide. This guide will also include names and locations of theme camps, a handy dandy map, and SO MUCH MORE!

No. Not really. That’s about all it will have.


Theme Camp Application

Application Dates: March 16 (Direct ticket launch) through April 14th 11:59 pm 

This is a shorter time frame, don’t be slacking.

For questions after reviewing the form, email placementinterfuse@midwestburners.org 

Registering a theme camp is the best way to ensure your theme camp has a reserved space to camp and interact with the community.  If you’re performing amplified music (Sound camps) are required to register. Theme camp placement will be evaluated on the camps interactivity and contribution to the community. 

So bring out your good side or your evil side and lets build a community the the Garden of Good and Evil – Interfuse 2024.
