VALLEY OF FIRE STATE PARK
4 DAYS OF PEACE, LOVE, AND FIRE!

We are hosting THREE FULL NIGHTS OF FIRE this year, beginning on Thursday night. Mealtimes and announcements will take place in a central location to help you connect with community. Read on for all the details...

The Vegas Vortex welcomes you to four days and nights of incredible magical adventure in the desert. Please read the following carefully so you can be well informed about the details of this four day Fire Gathering. This is our ninth annual MayFire celebration. This is a special gathering, for initiates, friends, and Family of Fire only. In order to attend, you must have previously participated in an all-night fire circle event, or be sponsored by someone who has attended one of these events; such as FireDance, Phoenix Fire, ForestDance, FireTribe Hawaii, Spirit Fire, Summerfest, Fires Rising, or Celebrate the Spirit.
More Sponsorship information.

The Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest State Park. It is located only 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The rough floor and jagged walls of the park contain brilliant formations of eroded sandstone and sand dunes more than 150 million years old. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays. There are a limited number of spaces for cars to park, and a limited number of places where we can set up our tents.

ARRIVAL INFORMATION
TUESDAY May 4th: Setup Day
WEDNESDAY May 5th: Early Arrivals
Camp at the site while we continue our "great work" setting up and preparing the community sites, fire circle and personal areas.

THURSDAY May 6 & FRIDAY May 7th: Main Arrivals between 12pm-7pm

THURSDAY NIGHT will be our first all-night fire
FRIDAY, the campsite gate will be closed at sunset, so plan to arrive before then or make arrangements with the Registrar.
SATURDAY will be our third night of fire, with a group breakfast after sunrise SUNDAY morning.
A more detailed Mayfire Schedule will be posted as we get closer to the event.

$122 for the weekend includes your camping fee, registration, workshops, Friday breakfast, and firewood. The park also collects an additional $6 per night, per vehicle.

If, for any reason, you would like us to consider a work exchange,
please read the information on our Work Exchange page.

Due to the nature of the subtlety and the delicacy of the ritual working, we are refining our ritual structure, and "separating the subtle from the gross." We will close the gate each evening at 8pm, (though we strongly encourage everyone to be onsite by sundown so you can get set up.) Once you are set up onsite, you MAY LEAVE the camp and return, as suits your needs throughout the gathering, but please respect our policy of NO NEW ARRIVALS after Friday at sundown.
