As there are no paid performers at the event, there are no spectators and what is shared are the passions and dreams of those who gift them. You cannot “attend” Kiwiburn, but you can be a part of it.
It’s been going since 2003. Here’s some more history on Mark “Yonderman” Stirling and his quest for a burn in New Zealand.
