We love to create an artistic experience that surprises and inspires all who join us! Our team of volunteers work for weeks on end to transform our event spaces into something entirely different. We plan to have these events on an annual basis and each one is donation based, as we are a Wyoming nonprofit. While the crafting days to create the events are family friendly, we prefer that our events be for those ages 21 and up, as we do provide alcohol for our guests. We also ask that guests arrive before 10pm so our volunteers can also enjoy the evening and we do require ID checks for entry. Join us to help create our next event or mark your calendars to attend!

4th of July: a float in the parade, Cody, Wyoming

In 2019, we worked with our friends at Sunlight Martial Arts in Cody to create a Korean water dragon, to represent their students in the 4th of July parade. The students were on top of the bus, performing throughout the ride. Our creation was so large that we needed spotters around the bus to ensure that we were able to clear each set of traffic lights; and we did clear them by zig zagging through each one!

We had so much fun with this project and we were honored that the float won two awards; Mayor's Choice and Judge's Choice. We plan to create another float for 2020 and we welcome all who may want to help!

Yellowstone Beer Fest: The Watering Hole

We are honored to have been part of the Yellowstone Beer Fest in both 2018 and 2019; we also plan to participate in 2020. We work with the Beer Fest to provide all participants with free water and some artistic elements as well. We set up "The Watering Hole" toward the back of the event near the portos with shade and seating. We keep the containers full and iced! In 2019, we provided a total of 170 gallons of water.

Closer to the event entrance, attendees can climb on board our bus - the upper deck gives fantastic views! We also provide water at the bus, free of charge. If you see our bus there, please know that it is open to everyone! You *are* a VIP and we welcome you on board :).

Beartooth Music Festival: art for the stage and water

We were thrilled to help the Beartooth Music Festival in 2019! Our group designed and created art for the stage to honor the financial beneficiary of the event; a veteran group called Fight Oar Die. We turned the stage into a Viking ship being attacked by a kracken!

We also brought our bus to the event to give attendees fantastic views, as well as provided more than 100 gallons of free water.

Burning Man: adventures in Black Rock City, NV

Each year, the Yellowstone Burners travel to Black Rock City, Nevada to attend Burning Man. There, we provide water from our giant school bus with an upper deck, which we are working to look like a giant saddle.

Tickets to this event can be hard to come by but our group is happy to serve as a resource if you're interested in attending. We can answer any questions you may have and help guide you through the process. Please look for announcements of our local monthly meetups in Cody, Wyoming; usually the first Wednesday of each month.

See photos from our visit to Black Rock City in 2019!

Halloween: Voodoo on the bayou

For Halloween, we turn our event space into a spooky New Orleans inspired swamp! Our Voodoo On The Bayou event has dance music, food, drinks, games, and more. This is an opportunity for adults to put on a costume and enjoy all the fun of Halloween, connecting with others who want a variety of things to do on an evening out.
​
Our costume contest encourages interaction! When you enter, we give each person one sticker for each category:

• Most Scary
• Most Huggable
• Most Original
• Best Reproduction
• Best Couple or Group

When you see people throughout the night, you can give one to the person you think should win that category. Participants have told us that they loved being able to tell an individual that they liked their costume and the people receiving the stickers felt honored to have them displayed on their arms or costume. Just before midnight, our crew looks around and finds the people with the most stickers for each category. Winners receive a gift donated by local businesses!

See our photo gallery from our 2018 Voodoo On The Bayou event. We were unable to host our Voodoo on the Bayou event in 2019 but will certainly have it back again in 2020!

New Year's Eve: Steampunk Wonderland

For New Years Eve, we turn our event space into the magical world of Alice in Wonderland, with a steampunk twist! Guests at our Steampunk Wonderland follow our white rabbit to our event space. You'll enjoy the Mad Hatter Tea Party in Alice's enchanted forest where we dance among giant mushrooms, watched over by the Cheshire Cat, and enjoy some food and drink. We'll also have all kinds of games available at tables throughout the venue for you and your friends to enjoy, as well as an area where we will show versions of Alice in Wonderland.

​Just before midnight, we ask everyone to consider writing down on paper something that is holding them back from moving into the new year with a clean slate. Then we all go outside, say goodbye to this year, and welcome in the new by placing our papers into our burn barrels, releasing our troubles into ash. Costumes are not required but are strongly encouraged! If you're single and none of your friends want to come along, please don't hesitate to come on your own! It is easy to make new friends at our gatherings as our goal is to create an experience that builds community.
