Burning Man is a gathering of the spicy, creative people who “come home” to Black Rock City, Nevada for one week a year to share wildly artistic creations and to play, dance, and live in the moment dressed, or undressed, in whatever style suits them.

Burning Man was originally created on the beaches of San Francisco before moving to the Black Rock Desert, a dried-up lake bed known as the playa. This is where some 48,000 people gather to create a bustling city that breathes art and interaction 24 hours a day for seven days each year.

Hardcore burners spend months — if not all year — planning, scheming, building, and sewing for the Black Rock City’s art cars, art installations, and elaborate camps.
