About
SeaCompression is a one-of-a-kind fall gathering—a hybrid of street carnival, dance party, and art festival—produced by Ignition Northwest, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to building community through participatory arts, immersive events, and creative education. As the official “decompression” event for the Burning Man community, SeaCompression serves as a vibrant closing ceremony to the festival season, inviting both seasoned Burners and newcomers to embrace the spirit of inclusion, self-expression, and collaborative creativity. A legacy of imagination: For more than two decades, SeaCompression has brought together the Puget Sound Burner community in celebration of art, music, performance, and community connection. Each year features large-scale art installations, interactive experiences, and unforgettable performances created by and for the community.
