A program is shown for the 2017 Oregon Eclipse Festival.

The total solar eclipse has earned its own Burning Man-like festival.

About 30,000 eclipse-chasers descended on Big Summit Prairie, Oregon, this week to camp, dance, and make cosmic connections at the Oregon Eclipse Festival, a weeklong tribute to the August 21 eclipse. It's possibly the biggest and most remote of eclipse gatherings in the US.

Thirteen festival promoters from around the world joined forces to organize the festival, which takes on a Burning Man flavor with its art installations, workshops, and seven concern stages. Tickets are sold out, but all-week passes are reselling on StubHub for $285 per person.

We scoured Instagram for the best photos inside Oregon Eclipse Festival.
