'''Burning Flipside''' (or '''Flipside''') is an annual effigy burn, display of creative arts, and self-expression of performances staged in Central Texas near [[Austin, Texas|Austin]]. Modeled on and associated with [[Burning Man]], Flipside was the first [[List of regional Burning Man events|regional Burning Man event]].

Lasting five days during the [[Memorial Day]] weekend, it is significantly smaller than Burning Man, with 3131 tickets sold in 2022, compared to about 80,000 participants for Burning Man. Participants build a temporary city called '''Pyropolis'''; all of the structures in this city are dismantled and removed at the end of the event. The main structure, the "[[effigy]]", is burned the last night, as are many other pieces of art around Flipside.
