Burning Basket is an honored Homer tradition

Every year, on a windswept patch of land in Homer’s Mariner Park, community members build a beautiful handmade basket. A really big one.
And just a few days later, they burn it to the ground. It’s part of Homer’s annual Burning Basket celebration.1 of 5 (Photo courtesy of Mavis Muller)(Photo courtesy of Mavis Muller)(Photo courtesy of Char Jump)(Photo courtesy of Char Jump)Students from Little Fireweed School helped build the basket.
