WHAT’S NEXT FOR El PULPO MAGNIFICO? Fresh off its latest trip to Burning Man, El Pulpo will be bringing its fiery tentacles to the 2026 Maker Faire, taking place on Historic Mare Island in Vallejo from Sept. 25-27. If it has always been your hope to hang with our flaming cephalopod, here is a less dusty way to do so.

TICKETS: https://makerfaire.com/bay-area/tickets/

So come hang with Pulpo as well as all the other glorious makers!

THANK YOU! From all of us on the El Pulpo Magnifico team: to all you weirdos who made it possible for us to return to the playa through your generous donations; to everyone who brought us gifts and danced uninhibitedly under our fiery tentacles; to the folks who made us grilled cheese sandwiches on burn night; to the new crew and campers who came along for the silliest ride; and to all the workers, artists and wanderers who made Black Rock City dreamy once more … El Pulpo says “hooray” to you.

This cephalopod remains bound for glory.

Until we meet again, see ya 🔥🐙🔥

Just a reminder: On Friday, Aug. 21, El Pulpo Magnifico will be swinging by the Arcata Plaza on our way to the playa for Friday Night Market. We will be joined by our good friend Priscilla. If you're in the area, let us warm your body and heart 🔥❤🔥

TOMORROW the Arcata Friday Night Market starts and we have a great lineup this season. See you on the plaza 🐙

Friends of Pulpo! We again humbly come to you to ask for your assistance in bringing the flames back to the playa. Costs are up! But we still want to bring the heat to our natural habitat. Every little bit helps! We’ve only able to bring this experience to you all these years because of your generosity. Let’s do it again :)
