Mini-burn February 2026

## Romanesco Mini-Burn · February 19–22, 2026

A small co-created micro-festival in a Czech château
Welcome to the first Romanesco Mini-Burn — a participatory, Burning-Man-inspired gathering for around 60 people.
3 days · A château in Czechia · One shared experiment

### The idea

Romanesco is a small, temporary festival space for connection, play, creativity, and a very good party.
There’s no lineup and no audience. The schedule starts blank. There are rooms and outdoor spaces ready to be used, but what actually happens depends on the people who come and what they bring.

***

### Guiding principles

This event is inspired by burner values:

• Participation
• Radical Self-Expression
• Radical Self-Reliance
• No Commerce
• Leave No Trace
• Community & Inclusion
• Gifting & Communal Effort
• Immediacy
• Consent

Please come familiar with these principles and ready to help uphold them.

***

### Co-creation

If you’re coming, you’re part of making the event.
That might look like:

• running a workshop or discussion
• DJing or playing music
• yoga, movement, breathwork, ritual
• massage, art, games, or experiments
• creating quiet spaces or high-energy ones

Bring whatever you’d like to share — skills, instruments, costumes, props, snacks, or surprises.
High or low energy, weird or gentle — it all fits.

### Food & accommodation

Your ticket includes:

• a bed in a shared dorm
• two vegan meals per day

There will be some snacks and drinks available, but please bring anything personal you want for yourself or to gift to others.
