Burning Man is an annual event that takes place in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, USA. The event is known for its emphasis on community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. It attracts tens of thousands of participants each year, who create a temporary city called “Black Rock City” in the desert for a week-long celebration.

At the center of the event is the burning of a large wooden effigy, which symbolizes the culmination of the week’s events and the release of creative energy. In addition to the burning, participants create and display a wide variety of art installations, music performances, and interactive experiences throughout the city.
