BURNING MAN

Tens of thousands of people gather in Northern Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, a temporary and vibrant metropolis, dedicated to community, art, self-reliance, and self-expression. Burning Man is a practice in community and Burners are not simply “attendees,” but active participants. Burners create incredible art, the city itself and the interaction and exchange of ideas. The burning of the Man is a symbol whose meaning is as varied as the attendees themselves. Participation is a gift given to the larger community for everyone’s benefit. This includes ensuring that burners know and understand the “pack it in, pack it out” or “leave no trace” mentality.
