Burning Man
Black Rock Desert, Nevada
August 30 - September 7, 2026
80,000
Why Experience This
Burning Man is more than a festival - it's a social experiment. Black Rock City appears for one week with its own airport, newspaper, and culture based on gifting, self-reliance, and leaving no trace. Massive art installations, mutant vehicles, and theme camps create an otherworldly environment culminating in the burning of a giant wooden effigy.
