The much-anticipated event will be hosted in and around Dead Ringer, Abbys, Black Rabbit Mead & The Morris similar to the Block Parties held in this area previously.

Much like the Burning Man festival itself, Reno Decompression will be an exhibition of art, mutant vehicles, interactive performances, and individual expression.
Reno Decompression is a family-friendly art event open to the public a great way to experience the warmth and magic of the Burning Man community without all the dust!

This year’s installment of Reno, NV’s official Burning Man Decompression returns, and everyone is invited to once more (or for the first time) put on that dust-covered attire and attend the the official Burning Man Decompression on October 10th, 2026.

Times: 6PM – 11PM

It annually features the best Black Rock City has to offer: art, mutant vehicles, and much more yet to be discovered, making Reno’s Decompression well-established as one of the most highly anticipated events of the year. If you went to Black Rock City and need some more, OR were unable to attend this year, Reno Decompression welcomes you.

This event, which is one of the biggest and best off playa, post Burning Man events, is once again being put on by Northern Nevadans and creative sorts from far and wide.

All proceeds from the event will be redistributed back into our community as charitable donations and/or art grants. This is an entirely volunteer-driven charitable event, and cannot happen without the help of participants, those who showcase art, etc. If you would like to get involved, please visit the Reno Decompression Facebook or Instagram Page.
