About This Project

We want to help Burning Man attendees continue their favorite week of the year, and allow them to keep experiencing the genuine community and deep connections they can only feel while at Burning Man. To do this, we will build a 300-mile wall around the entire Bay Area during Burning Man.

For the rest of us, what’s normally our favorite week of the year… lasts forever!

Where Will My Money Go?

We’ll use 100% of the 7.3 billion dollars to buy state-of-the-art wall supplies. All work will be completed on a volunteer basis.

Who Will Build It?

You! And us. And millions of others who stay on the San Francisco side of the wall. Through the process of coming together for one ambitious week of working together, we can forge a more idyllic Bay Area community. We can return to our lives as better people. How amazing does that sound?

What Will The Wall Look Like?

The Burning Man Wall will look like this.

What Supporters Are Saying?

“I love the idea of this wall. This wall is going to be a really awesome wall!”

– Maggie Reed

“All I’ve ever wanted is the opportunity to set my regular life aside and spend a week being a part of something truly collaborative, communal, and inspiring. Now I finally have that chance!”

– Artillery Thornbloom

“It’s moonshots like this that inspired me to start my own company. Can I tell you about my company?”

– Luke Richards

“It’s idealism and ambition like this that makes San Francisco so great! Plus, all those Afterburn parties get pretty annoying, right?”

– Mayor Ed Lee

Risks And Challenges

Building a 300-mile wall in one week will be difficult, but if we can get just 50% of the Bay Area population (minus Burning Man attendees) we’ll have about 3.5 million volunteer wall builders. That’s less than half a foot of wall per person!

We’ve called around to local suppliers and hardware stores and it seems like we shouldn’t have trouble finding enough materials to get this job done.
