Northwest Flow Fest Community Fire Jam
June 30 @ 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
This Community Fire Jam marks the kickoff of Northwest Flow Fest – ILLUMINATE!
Community Fire Jams offer an opportunity for fire spinners of all skill levels to practice and play with fire in a safe and supportive environment. Coming just to watch or to play with LED or day props outside the fire circle is absolutely welcome and encouraged!
This year’s Northwest Flow Fest Community Fire Jam is going to start off with a First Burn & Fire Safety Class hosted by Drew Hearthfire! Whether this will be your first time and you want to make sure you’re doing things safely (which we highly recommend), or you’ve burned at least a time or two but have never taken a formal fire safety class, this is for you! The class will start at 7:15pm and end around 8:00 when the fire circle opens. We’ll have a dedicated safety for each new spinner and will ALL be cheering you on! (This workshop also counts as your SFAC orientation.)
**REGISTRATION INFORMATION**
Everyone who ~spins fire~ at these events is required to register at least 8 days in advance and complete our orientation/safety training once per calendar year.

IF YOU PLAN TO SPIN FIRE:
*Register in advance: *Make sure you fill out our Google form 8 days before the event!* That means by midnight on Thursday, June 16th. 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! HERE IS THE LINK: https://forms.gle/BRhcZ3MWp3SZM4Qy6
Orientation: We ask that everyone who burns completes our fire safety & event orientation once per calendar year. We host an orientation twice at each event, 15 minutes before the fire circle opens and again about an hour and a half after it opens.
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!
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 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!
