ACME Sign Repair

The ACME Sign Repair team attended Burning Man in 2024 with the goal of replacing as many stolen, missing, or destroyed Black Rock City street signs as humanly possible. Over 4 days, the team:

– Visited all 300 intersections
– Repaired 73 of those sites
– Replaced a total of 103 signs

Check out this behind-the-scenes video:

And here are a few reactions to the new ACME signs:

“Hi there!! Just wanted to say that I think your signs are so cute, and useful! I’ve gotten used to also looking for the emergency markers when people steel the regular signs, but yours are easier to read and really stand out! This is the first year I’ve noticed your signs, but what a service you are doing for the city!! Thanks!!” – K.W.

“Our street sign was entirely lopped off day one… Then a teeny version of it showed up! You saved me from never finding my home base again for the whole week. Thank you thank you thank you!” – Prism

“This really is an extraordinary thing that you and your pals did. Cannot thank you enough.” -D.M.

“Thank you so much for all you do! I appreciate your gift to the community.” -L.S.
