Burning Man is not a festival. It is a global cultural movement, with local communities flourishing all over the world. In 2023, 86 official Burning Man Regional Events were produced by local communities on six continents. Our ephemeral city in the Black Rock Desert is an annual experiment in temporary community embodying Radical Self-expression, Radical Self-reliance, and the rest of the core 10 Principles of our culture. In Black Rock City you are responsible for your own survival, safety, and well-being. You are invited to collaborate, be inclusive, creative, connective, and to Leave No Trace.
