Dance. Create. Transcend.

An immersive world where artistry and spirit merge, sparking unforgettable experiences of connection and celebration on the playa.

Lunar Disco Camp is more than a camp it is a living, breathing constellation of artists, dreamers, and seekers who gather each year at Burning Man to weave music, art, and sacred connection into the heart of Black Rock City.

Since 2012, we’ve cultivated a transformative desert sanctuary where radical self-expression meets collective creativity. By day, our camp invites you to explore immersive installations, reflective spaces, and spontaneous moments of wonder. By night, Lunar Disco awakens with rhythm and light, igniting the playa with music, dance, and cosmic celebration under the desert moon.

Our magic also rides across the playa with two iconic mutant vehicles: the vibrant Grasshopper and the ethereal Water Temple. These rolling works of art extend the Lunar Disco experience into the open desert, carrying music, connection, and play wherever they roam.

At our core, we are a community dedicated to honoring the 10 Principles of Burning Man radical inclusion, self-expression, self-reliance, communal effort, civic responsibility, gifting, decommodificatios, participation, immediacy, and leaving no trace. These principles are not just values we respect, but living practices that shape how we gather, create, and celebrate together.

Lunar Disco Camp is an evolving story one of joy, creativity, and deep human connection written together in dust, fire, and moonlight.

The Water Temple

More than an art installation—a living altar where the ancient relationship between humans and water is honored, celebrated, and renewed.

A Living Sacred Space

In the harsh beauty of the Black Rock Desert, where water becomes precious beyond measure, our Water Temple serves as a reminder of our fundamental connection to this life-giving force. Through music, ceremony, and shared creativity, we invite participants to honor water as a sacred being. The temple space transforms throughout the day, offering different experiences as the desert light shifts and the community’s energy evolves. Each moment within its flowing walls is an opportunity for reflection, connection and transformation.
Temple Etiquette

“The Water Temple welcomes all who approach with respect and openness. We ask that visitors honor the sacred nature of this space by maintaining mindful presence and contributing to the collective energy of peace and connection.”

Sacred Design Elements
  • Flowing architectural lines that echo water’s natural movement
  • Integrated sound system creating immersive audio landscapes
  • Multiple gathering spaces for both solitude and community
  • Interactive elements that respond to participant presence

Our Core Values

These principles guide every installation we create, every ritual we hold, and every connection we foster in the desert.

Sacred
Connection

We create spaces for authentic human connection and spiritual exploration.

Community
First

Our camp thrives on collaboration, inclusivity, and shared creative vision.

Artistic
Innovation

Pushing boundaries through large scale installations and interactive experiences.

Desert
Harmony

Respecting the environment while creating transformative art in the wilderness.

Our Mission

Our mission is to ignite collective freedom through rhythm, light, and love. At Lunar Disco, we dance not just for ourselves, but for the pulse of humanity. Under the desert sky, we turn music into medicine and community into constellation each person a star, each gathering a galaxy.

We are here to:
• Hold space for transformation where every dancer feels safe to let go and expand.
• Amplify joy and unity through music, art, and radical expression.
• Be a reminder of presence, that life is a dance of the moment.
• Shine responsibly, leaving no trace but the glow of human connection.

We believe that when we move together, we remember our wholeness. Lunar Disco is a mirrorball for the soul reflecting light, refracting love, and reminding us that tomorrow’s hope is already alive today.
