Burning Man

What is Burning Man?

Burning Man takes place in Nevada's Black Rock Desert for around nine days every year. It's a once in a lifetime experience that has to be seen to be believed!

As one of the country's biggest counterculture festivals, it always makes the list of Nevada's top 20 events and festivals.

The self-sufficient community comes together to enjoy artistic performances, giant installations, music and dancing amongst the community-built artwork in Black Rock City.

This is a truly unique event where no money is exchanged, so everyone who comes to Burning Man is expected to bring their own food, supplies, shelter, and anything else they might need.

Adventure-seekers won't want to miss this and remember Burning Man is not a festival. Burning Man is a community. A temporary city. A global cultural movement!

Need to know

At Burning Man, the only things you can purchase with cash are ice and coffee at the central camp. Burning Man attendees set up camp and many provide food, beverages, and souvenirs that are gifted or occasionally exchanged for things you're prepared to contribute!
