The 27th Celebration of Bubble Lounge!
WE’RE COMING BACK TO BLACK ROCK CITY!
Founded in 1999, the Bubble Lounge is one of the longest-running theme camps at Burning Man. Produced for over twenty years by its co-founder, Esquire Jauchem, the Bubble Lounge has always been a welcoming, inclusive, cool space with a chill vibe. And this year it will celebrate 27 years at Black Rock City.
Rising from the dust storms of last year. we are returning in 2026 with a core team of experienced burners and an entirely new camp. Together, we have well over 50 years of combined experience building theme camps and art installations at Burning Man, LA Decom, BeQuinox, the Venice Afterburn, and other events.
Bubble Lounge is a diverse camp, full of seasoned burners and ever-welcoming of burgins, all sorts of creative types, souls of all stripes, and international travelers. No spectators!
We can’t wait to see you in the dust!
A Place on the Playa
This year we are located at
7:30 & B Plaza
Easy to find, hard to miss and close to the Esplanade!
The Bubble Lounge campmates consciously practice the 10 principles of Burning Man. Our experienced crew of burners is there to help. If you’re looking for a place to call home we have a place for you.

people, they
