Burner Meet and Greet at Whim! Holidays! Party time!

Celebrate the holidays (in drag?!?)! and connect with your favorite people and principals :) Join us at Stage 773 for the closing night of their WHIM interactive art and cocktail experience!

Stage 773 is hosting a drag show in conjunction with their closing night - details and timing forthcoming!

After the drag show, the word is... Karaoke!! We had an MnG at WHIM a year or so ago, and we closed out the night with several hours of karaoke on one of the stages, and it was a blast!! The staff of Stage 773 are on board with bringing the singing back!

There is no charge to enter or participate! We will be hanging in the lobby area, which is quite artfully decked out! If you want, you can pay to experience WHIM and/or buy drinks from the Stage 773 bar! The WHIM experience is worth it if you have not seen it yet!!

Here's the description of WHIM!

Welcome to WHIM CHICAGO, where IMMERSIVE ART, UNIQUE COCKTAILS, and CAPTIVATING PERFORMANCE create unforgettable moments of discovery. WHIM embarks audiences across a path of dreamlike theatricals that immerse the individual into an eclectic range of perspectives.

First opening in July 2022, we completely reimagined our interior space with a philosophy that placing art on top of art will create a multimedia fusion unlike anything else in our community. Step into WHIM’s LOBBY OF SECOND CHANCES, where an artistic explosion of creations made out of found objects offers a lively space to lift a glass, celebrate the day, and connect with others.

Then wander into our ENCHANTED FOREST, where a giant enchanted tree towers over a stage for live performances and events. The main course? EXPERIENCE WHIM, worlds made of immersive art are waiting to be discovered.

Walking through our doors, you enter a space dedicated to creating unique moments, together. Start creating your moments.

WHO. ARE. YOU? Chicago's Official Decompression 2024

Has coming home from That Thing In The Desert left you curiouser and curiouser? Are you longing to connect more with the Chicago Burning Man community? If you answered yes, then it’s time to decompress. Dust the playa off your boots and join us through the looking glass for an evening full of art, music and merriment in a whimsical wonderland.

Decompression has been a long rooted tradition in Burning Man communities around the world with Chicago being amongst one of the most beloved. B.U.R.N’s mission is to foster community arts through grass-roots projects and civic collaborations all of which we celebrate at Decompression and other events throughout the year.

On Saturday, October 5th we will gather under the magical cheshire cat moon in Chicago’s Jefferson park neighborhood to ask the question, WHO. ARE. YOU? As you step through the looking glass you’ll find yourself winding through an indoor/outdoor playground of wonderment filled with dozens of visual artists, DJs, flow and fire artists, musicians, theme camps and performers all guiding you towards the many answers to WHO. ARE. YOU?
