IF YOU PLAN TO SPIN FIRE:
*Register in advance: Registration is required once per calendar year by the Fire Department. You must register at least 7 days prior to the event (this means by Friday, June 6th). You can register either by purchasing a Flow Fest Seattle workshop pass by 6/6, or by filling out our google form. This is required by the Fire Department for our permit so there is no wiggle room! We can’t let you spin if you don’t sign up!

Orientation: We ask that everyone who burns completes our fire safety & event orientation once per calendar year. We will host orientation multiple times throughout the night, including at 7:45, 8:30, and 9:00 at this event!
Volunteer: We need your help to keep the show running! When you check in at the front desk on the day of the event, you’ll be asked to pick a 30 minute volunteer shift with either the Sign-in Desk, Fuel Depot, Fire Safety, or Set-up/Tear-down Crew. Thank you in advance for supporting your community in this way! ❤
Dress to Impress… And Not Catch on Fire: Make sure to wear natural fibers or fire retardant treated clothing. Cotton, leather, & denim are all safe bets. Leave the synthetics, feathers, and fur at home. Spin barefoot at your own risk!
