You're about to step into a city built from imagination, connection, and participation — created by its citizens, including YOU. Burning Man is not a festival. It is a global cultural movement where people come together to create, innovate, and share stories, supported by the Burning Man Project nonprofit. 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. Bring what you discover here back to your community — or find your people through a Regional Event. With 80+ official Regional Events in 30+ countries, Burning Man thrives around the world. 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.
