Burning Man sanctioned event coming to Nevada City in March

Editor’s note: The foothills increasingly are becoming a popular destination for Burning Man devotees — well before the “main event” in the Nevada desert. Here’s an example, a Burning Man sanctioned event coming to Nevada City this spring:

“BURNAL EQUINOX NEVADA CITY – NEVADA CITY, CA – MAR 3-4
Burnal Equinox Nevada City

Saturday, March 3, 2012 noon to 1 a.m. (March 4)
Miners Foundry
325 Spring Street
Nevada City CA 95959

Burnal Equinox Nevada City will feature the funky music of ALBINO! a 10 piece Afro-funk band from San Francisco. The event will open at 12:00 noon and feature Burning Man related vendors, food, costumes, mini-theme camps & more. Everyone who’s interested in a certain huge outdoor music/art/set-stuff-on-fire festival which happens each Labor Day out in the god-forsaken desert…….get here!
