What Is Recycled Rainbow?
Recycled Rainbow is a four-day event inspired by the Burning Man festival. Everything is organized, built and paid for by volunteers with their own resources. There are no trash cans, so you’ll have to pack your trash out with you. There are no vendors, so you have to bring enough food, drink and whatever else you need for four days. There are no schedules or rules, so you’ll have to make things happen yourself and respect your neighbor.
When Is Recycled Rainbow?
Recycled Rainbow begins at 9am on Thursday, September 23, 2010. It ends at 2pm on Sunday, September 26.
Where Is Recycled Rainbow?
Recycled Rainbow will be held this year in East Rochester, Ohio- 21 miles East of Canton, Ohio. It will be held at Big ARB’s Campground located at 25091 Buffalo Road, East Rochester, OH 44625

Deception?
Is truth merely perception? How does one discern fact from fiction? Friend from foe? Ally from terrorist? Deception is natural, but not always predictable?
Latest News and Information:
[ March 1, 2010; 8:00 pm; ] This year’s ticketing system will work differently than in past years. With an increased population of participants, Recycled Rainbow has gotten more expensive to produce. More people mean higher insurance rates, more portajon servicings, and higher departmental budget requests.

It’s hard to believe 2010 is almost here! As the holidays approach, it’s more difficult to imagine preparations for a new event have already begun.
While there were certainly mistakes to learn from, we shouldn’t ignore our successes in 2009. This was artistically and organizationally our most participatory year to date. Despite a surprising 50% growth in attendance (and three major burns), we left it cleaner than previous years. All those with burning art installations took responsibility to clean the debris and plant seed in its place (some even came back a week later to ensure this was done.) Today, a couple months after RR 2009, there is already some grass replacing the scorched earth. Fuck yeah!
All the participants who built and tore down the city (filled with structures people building, cooking, drinking, eating, performing, & dancing) once again left no trace.
Despite the most relentless rainfalls since RR has gone outdoors (turning many tents into swimming pools) there was a major growth in collaborative art structures & villages.
We have seen outstanding readiness & preparation from those who learned from previous years (and no major injuries to report!)
All the team leads, and I mean this, all of them did a kickass job of building talented, responsible, and effective teams who played a major role in this year’s success. Our greatest achievement was collaborative radical inclusion, and we wish to push it even further in 2010. I am proud to say we have gotten the official invite to return to the same land, and we accepted. Recycled Rainbow will begin on Thursday September 23rd, and end on Sunday September 26th.
A once sleeping event awakens to new opportunities & challenges; opportunities for growth (internally and externally,) and there are challenges to build an even more imaginative invisible city.
It starts with our most grueling process of the year: DESIGN!
