Begun in 1907 off campus, near the rail station to celebrate an Aggie win over Tulane, Bonfire stood first and stands today as a celebration of who we are.
Over a process that lasts an entire year, students fill the boots of those who have gone before. They enact a memory of Aggies we lost, and rekindle perpetually a great legacy.
BURN BAN UPDATE: The Robertson County burn ban remains in effect. Burn will be rescheduled for the sprint semester, after Aggies have returned to school, and when it is safe to burn.
Robertson County references the KBDI for determining Burn Bans. On advice from the Texas Forest Service, burn bans in Robertson County are lifted when the KBDI falls below 575. As of November 26, the KBDI is 638. This represents a real and significant fire danger.
Stack Site will be open to visitors from 10am-7pm on November 29. Come visit, take a walk around site, take photos, tell Old Army stories, and get motivated to BTHOtu!

Since 2009, Old Army Supply Co. has made the official shirt of every Bonfire season.
Every year, the back features the season's Stack and its Aggies after Last Shift. The front pocket is the outhouse, made by the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band.
Due to this year's schedule for Last Shift, 2024 shirts are preorder only and will be shipped after November 29.

Bonfire is completely student led and executed. But that work is only possible through your support.
Aggies are building Bonfire year-round, requiring equipment, tools, fuel, food, wire, cables, ropes, power, rentals, and more. By donating, you give students what they need to keep the flame undying.
