- The Burn (the ceremonial burning of the central effigy): The moment people gather for a collective release — loud, emotional, and strangely gentle at the same time. It’s the festival’s heartbeat: a ritual that turns days of creation and connection into one dramatic, shared catharsis.
- Large-scale interactive art installations: Massive, often rideable sculptures and secret nooks that invite you to touch, climb, or wander inside.
