Burning Man Festival

Burning Man is an iconic counterculture event that draws visitors from around the globe. It takes place in the Black Rock Desert of northern Nevada each year where a temporary city is built to host the festival. Burning Man started in 1986, with burning a wooden-figure of a man on a beach in San Francisco – there were 20 people present that night and by the next year, it had increased to 80! This imaginative happening is a celebration of all things fantastical. Think improbable structures, fascinating people and remarkable art installations. Artistic self-expression is the name of the game. Many guests dress up in exquisite costumes according to the yearly theme.
