This project has reached its target. You may still donate to this project if you wish.
The Giant Weta has returned to New Zealand after travelling to Burning Man, USA - and she's ready to make her first appearance at Kiwiburn!
Auckland
**Stretch goal: Let's see if we can make it to $2500! All your wonderful donations help support ongoing costs of the Auckland Burners' Space**
In August 2016, The Giant Weta wowed 70,000 people at Black Rock City, Burning Man, Nevada, USA, taking pride and place on the playa amongst other artwork from America and around the world. She was admired, climbed over, photographed, enjoyed and was the backdrop for two weddings! After a long journey to and from Black Rock City, The Giant Weta is back home and is currently being prepped for Kiwiburn: New Zealand’s Regional Burning man event!
We've been tracking her progress over the high seas to ensure the Weta would arrive in time and can FINALLY confirm she will be at Kiwiburn! Now we need YOUR HELP to fund the transport, logistics and LPG to get her from Auckland down to the Paddock at Hunterville, so we can blow fire from her antennae for everyone’s enjoyment.
It's all or nothing! If we don't reach our goal, we won't get a cent!
Spread the word and let's get the Weta to Kiwiburn!
The Giant Weta is a project of Auckland Burners Incorporated.
All funds raised will be used to pay for LPG, transport and regulatory compliance to get The Giant Weta up to speed after her long journey, and of course shooting flames at Kiwiburn!
