xLights sequence editor — drag effects onto any zone
Rose window simulator — 16 petals, live sACN preview
Black Rock City · 2026
Your ideas. Your cathedral.
The Gothic Folly's 23,000 LEDs will come alive from the inspiration of a community of makers. Beginners are welcome.
You don't need to wait until Burning Man to see your show. Design it, then watch it run on a live 3D model of the full cathedral — right in your browser.
The Gothic Folly show-builder package includes a downloadable 3D simulator and a 2D rose window preview. Use free, open-source tools — either xLights or TouchDesigner — to create your sequence, then watch it come alive in real time.
Every zone is represented: arches, spires, rose window, canopy, orbs. What you see in the simulator is what will run on the playa.
No experience with LED sequencing? No problem. We put together a complete beginner-friendly show-builder package — everything you need to start creating.
Download the package, open it in xLights (free, takes 5 minutes to set up), and start dragging effects onto the cathedral. The full step-by-step guide is waiting for you.
Your sequence could run on the real installation on the playa at Burning Man 2026.
