Page "Decompression party" Paragraph 1

The decompression events can occur anywhere from September to December, and anything afterwards is typically considered a warm-up for the next Burning Man.

There has been an official Decompression Party hosted by the Burning Man organization since 1999, but the various Regional networks typically prefer to host their own.

The Burning Man organization has since made the term " Decompression " a registered trademark and must conform to a set of rules.

The atmosphere at these parties vary, but are typically upbeat and energetic.

The decompression parties are sometimes reminiscent of early Burning Man festivals due to their informality and smaller size.

They are a related phenomenon to the dead dog parties common at the end of science fiction conventions.
