Burning van
Picture this: a sun-soaked, open-air chapel nestled amidst the untamed beauty of southwestern Colorado, the sounds of an ethereal pipe, an awe-inspiring interactive installation that once graced the dusty plains of Burning Man, now residing in the eclectic haven of , where the Planet V festival unfolds this Memorial Day weekend. An intimate, art-infused extravaganza formerly known as Burning Van, Planet V fuses art, nature, music, and community to create a sublime experience for those craving an alternative to the overwhelming intensity of the Playa. The weekend boasts a lineup of genre-defying artists and world-class DJs, alongside wellness workshops, fire arts, and interactive large-scale art, all in a setting that combines history, architecture, and the great outdoors. Situated outside the Wild West town of Naturita, just an hour west of Telluride, Camp V offers a range of accommodations, from refurbished miners’ cabins and modern Airstreams to glamping tents, riverside campsites, and RV hookups. As the sun dips below the horizon, Planet V’s nights come alive with aerialists, circus collectives, and silent discos, forging memories that will outlast the fleeting glow of the desert sky.
