Gifting Bar

Gifting is one of the 10 Principles of Burning Man – these are a set of guidelines reflecting our Community’s ethos and culture. 

In an environment free of commerce and financial transaction we step off the treadmill of consumerism. A gift is given unconditionally and without obligation. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange. 

Intelligent Deviant have been providing a gifting bar at Burner events since 2018. Our crew generously ensure that we start each event with ice and a range of alcohol and mixers. 

Participants who appreciate the quality of our bar have been gifting us additional alcohol or cool bar items ever since. 

Intelligent Deviant have a close association with Rangers and you’ll often find off-duty Rangers relaxing or playing at the bar. 

Two things you should know about the Gifting Bar are; if you don’t have a cup or receptacle, we are unable to gift you a drink and, just like you, Deviants are participants at the event… we gift unconditionally at a time of our choosing. This is one of our ways for radical self-expression… our DJs of the alcoholic realms like nothing better than to mix you a great drink that’ll titillate the taste buds while engaging you in lively conversation.
