Sidequest Sideshow is a New York-based Burning Man camp formed largely of veteran burners. Our first burn as SQS was in 2025 at 6:45 & B, and we came out swinging, with a fishing dock for catching hippies, a circus tent lounge, and our legendary Secret Clown Fight Club.
We believe in balanced participation, good vibes, and the transformative power of a well-placed clown nose. If everyone shows up and helps out, nobody gets burnt out,and everyone has time to go have fun.
Our dock is the place to be. Cast a line, reel in a weirdo. Everyone's biting.
Face painting. An MC. Two clowns enter, one nose survives. First rule: TELL EVERYONE.
Real couches, real rugs, real dusty vibes. Come hang in the tent and be weird with us.
Check out our upcoming fundraisers, learn how to prepare for the burn, or just poke around.
DustAngel: Got fished off the dock at 3am. Fought back. Lost. Joined the camp. See you in 2026.
SunburnedSam: I came for the couches. I stayed for the clown fights. I left with wet socks and zero regrets.
TheRealBozo: Knocked off 3 noses at fight club. I am the alpha clown. Fear me.
HungWeeb420: Wandered into your circus tent thinking it was a shibari camp. Best mistake of my burn.
