Past "What If" Events
A look back at our events from Burn in the Forest / What If over the years.
"Those Were the Days" - A Picture Gallery
We want your old Photos!
Help us with our project to create a unique trip down memory lane with some of the most wild or memorable times you and your camp mates have had at What If (formerly Burn in the Forest)!
What is this?
"Those Were the Days" is a project that invites participants to contribute their cherished photographs from past moments at the festival. These snapshots serve as a visual time capsule, creating a nostalgic memorabilia wall at "Quitters". The images, carefully printed and sometimes framed, celebrate the festival's vibrant history and evoke a sense of collective nostalgia. As attendees meander through Quitters, they embark on a visual journey, engaging in conversations and storytelling inspired by the captivating photographs. This project unites generations of participants, encouraging them to honour the past while shaping the event's evolving narrative over a cold drink at your favourite bar.
Also we just look really good.
Please be sure the photos you send us have the permission of those shot in the photo.

Community Truck - 2023
We rented a 17 foot Penske truck to get our camp there and offered extra space to the community. Given how expensive these rentals (and fuel) had become we figured it would only be oh-so Burner of us to offer space!
