Burning Boltman - One More Time.
It has been eleven years since Boltmade was founded and almost eight since it was acquired by Shopify. This fall, join Boltmadians + friends for a weekend of art, shenanigans and committing to the joke.
Burning Boltman + Camp Stonecrop is a three day event in Elora, Ont. It's opportunity to reconnect with old friends, share stories, and do something for the joy of it.

Every step of your weekend at Camp Stonecrop has been exquisitely crafted.
Arrive early, stay late. A mix of FooCamp and Burning Man, our event is off the grid, the hook, the charts and the record.
Arrival for those staying the whole weekend. You'll get your campsite set up, have dinner and then take part in a sundown ceremony to raise the Boltman.
Burning Boltman day! If you come for only one day, make it this one. Hang out, get your photo with Fake Blake, take part in a standup.
We close out the event with a brunch, get packed up and then say goodbye for this year.
