Looks like a lot of planning went into Burning Porc. Maybe they should change the name to smoldering porc.

www.burningporcupine.comBurning Porcupine Festival began as both a protest of the FSP holding Porcfest at Gunstock and an introduction to Grafton.
As P'fest has moved back to Rogers and Burning Porcupine Festival's sponsor returned to P'fest, Burning Porcupine Festival is now an introduction to Grafton and an opportunity for folks that didn't make it to P'fest to get together and, for folks who went to P'fest and wished it (the hanging out part) didn't end. --LloydBob
The name is a parody of an event called Burning Man, with the vague intention for it to be a really wild party kind of like that. Instead it actually tends to be really laid back and not that freaky at all other than there are a shitload of anarchists hanging out by a campfire, hatin' on the gooberment, eating, drinking, smoking and generally having a good time. There are events, but one similarity is that Burning Porcupine is largely not a regimented and scheduled event. The participants bring to it whatever they want and that's what shapes it. --Dalebert
The event is held at the Hoyt farm in Grafton. Google Maps-- Hoyt road, Grafton NH for directions.
Primitive camping-- no electric, wifi or water hookups, but the rates are better than Rogers (FREE)
There are no motels in Grafton, so if tents are not your thing bring an RV.
Come to Grafton
It's not the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from here.
What happens in Grafton stays in Grafton.
