Kind of been wondering about this, the Burning Man event seems to attract a lot of leftists, but attracts my interest as it seems to also attract artists and artistic expression, maybe a kind of environmentalism, I don't know. Their main celebration seems to have been a repackaging of the pagan event of burning a wicker man, they burn a big effigy to end the event.
It's kind of ambiguous about being pagan or nonreligious or whatever but I think there are probably plenty of objectionable things that take place that "conservatives" or "Christians" might want to steer clear of. But, I think possibly there are good things that might be adapted in to some alternative new event or incorporated in to existing events.
Any idea about "Christian conservative" alternatives to Burning Man?
While it is not by any means particularly conservative or Christian, PorcFest in New Hampshire is a libertarian festival where you're bound to find everyone of every type that values small government. There's a great Christian tent every year that holds plenty of events. On the other hand there's new age types, atheists, nudists (limited to their own areas). Plenty of people using psychedelics and treating it like their own personal Burning Man. It's all relative. My psychedelic experience left me wanting to run over to the New Age tent and start trying to convince them about Jesus and biblical Christianity. Long story short, it's a very good substitute if you're anywhere near New England. Won't be until next June though.
I think given other comments I've seen, that maybe a lot of these events might be able to have Christian subgroups within them, and that maybe expecting one big event that's Christian might be a big more to hope for than is necessary
Porcfest has been on a "maybe someday" list for me...
