We have been placed at 5:00 and Esplanade extending
back to "A" street, and have 5:00 along our left side

placement before you stake in! The color of your sub camp
on the map denotes the color of the little wooden stakes that
will "square off" your camp. Please set up within these stakes.
The power distro map is divided into three colored sections.
Please plug into a distro box within your designated section, and
read the power hook up instructions. We
have done our best to meet everyone’s needs, and enjoy seeing you on the playa!

2009 is The Illumination Village's 15th anniversary on the playa.
The Illumination Village is an active, driven community of dedicated artists, technologists and hardcore fans of fire. We’re a powerful force on the playa; building, supporting and burning some of the best and biggest art the playa has ever seen. The Illumination Village is old school fire, steam punks, mad science, anachronistic power generation, neon, electricity and sculpture that’s interactive and entertaining. We bring fuel, we bring energy, we bring art, and we light up the night. We stoke the flames, mixing fire and steel, keeping your body warm at night, and your eyes twinkling with the reflections of combustion.
