A Northwest nonprofit arts group is promising to turn one block of downtown Burien into a mini Burning Man festival on Oct. 15.

The popular Burning Man festival draws thousands yearly to the California desert. Correction: Burning Man brings thousands to the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, not California.

"We've outgrown every venue in Seattle, and this year we are stuffing two acres of downtown Burien with Fire, Music and Art," a press release from Ignition Northwest proclaims.

"We invite you to come celebrate with two full acres of theme camps, interactive displays, fire spinners, DJs, live music and performers, dance, art cars, grilled cheese, suspension rigs, small blimps, neon rainbows, and every other odd thing we can think of. Imagine one city block of Burning Man being transported - streets and all - to downtown Burien."

The Burien event, dubbed Seacompression, is a 21 and over event because sponsors will have five highly decorated theme bars along with local food vendors.

There will be two different sound stages performing a wide variety of musical acts. The event will have a DJ driven dance hall, with ten different DJs spinning dance tunes though the night. There is also a performance stage with a lineup of fire spinners, musical acts and other performances.

SeaCompression is the annual fundraising festival for Ignition Northwest a non-profit, volunteer driven, 501(c)3 community arts board that funds a variety of annual art and educational programs.

Pre-sale tickets for the Oct. 15 event are $25 and $40.
