Great pics!

Partner and I wanted to check out the bunnies last night after Kraftwerk (3-d concert, we actually thought it was part of Beakerhead but it was just coincidental- world tour just started in Edmonton!), got a Car2Go by the Jubilee and made it there by around 10:45 and it was dark. Headed down to Tompkins Park, now maybe 10:50 to try to see the clouds and everything was turned off. I was under impression the installations would go to 11.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing both tonight!

Edited... it closed at 10. Explains things. Checked out all of Fabulist, the bunnies and the Tompkins Park clouds today, latter two after an AMAZING dinner at Pigeonhole and the Beakerhead dessert at Buttermilk. Amazing intallations all, and bringing lots of little kids to the parks, even at night. Glorious. Beakerhead has the potential to become absolutely massive.

Yep. Looking at all these pics, I see lots of potential with this festival.

Does anyone know what they do with some of the exhibits from previous years? It'd be nice to re-use some and keep adding more and more every year.

Many of the exhibits aren't one offs for Beakerhead, but were brought in specifically for the festival from other cities.

Ah, that makes sense. So far they have a pretty good collection of things each year. I'd love to see that big fire breathing monster again.

I was really hoping to see El Pulpo Mechanico from Burning Man Festival this year, but unfortunately was not here this year.
