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

We are hosting THREE FULL NIGHTS OF FIRE this year, beginning on Tuesday 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 eighth annual MayFire celebration. This is a special gathering, for initiates, friends, and Family of Fire only. If you have never attended one of our events before, you must be sponsored in to this one by someone who has attended FireDance, ForestDance, FireTribe, Spirit Fire, or Celebrate the Spirit.

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
SUNDAY May 10th: Setup Day
MONDAY May 11th: Early Arrivals
Camp at the site while we continue our "great work" setting up and preparing the community sites, fire circle and personal areas.

TUES May 12 & WED May 13th: Main Arrivals between 12pm-7pm
TUESDAY NIGHT will be our first all-night fire
WEDNESDAY, the campsite gate will be closed at sunset, so plan to arrive before then or make arrangements with the Registrar.
THURSDAY will be our third night of fire, with a group breakfast after sunrise FRIDAY morning.
A more detailed Mayfire Schedule will be posted as we get closer to the event.

For much more on the campsite, preparing for the desert, and other useful things to read, check out Mayfire Information.

$111 for the weekend includes your camping fee, registration, workshops, Friday breakfast, and firewood. We also collect an additional $6 per night, per vehicle, to pay the Park.

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 Wednesday at sundown.

REGISTER NOW
