Each year, the ethereal Black Rock Desert of Nevada transforms into the temporary metropolis of Black Rock City, where creativity, community, and self-expression ignite like never before. This is Burning Man – an unrivalled celebration of life and art, far beyond the realm of ordinary festivals taking place from 27 August until 04 September 2023.
Embrace the ANIMALIA: Discover the Untamed Spirit
This year’s theme, ANIMALIA, beckons attendees to unleash their wild side and dive into a world of untamed expression.
ANIMALIA celebrates the diverse world of animals, both real and imagined. The Black Rock Desert, though seemingly barren, teems with life and inspiration. Humans have long been fascinated with their animal counterparts, from mythic beasts to animal deities.
In Black Rock City, participants are invited to bring their imaginary menagerie, expressing themselves through art with love and respect for all creatures.
The Golden Spike: A Symbol of Beginning and Beyond
In July, amidst an intimate gathering of city builders, the symbolic Golden Spike marks the heart of Black Rock City. It’s more than just a stake in the ground; it is the genesis of an extraordinary journey that unfolds daily. As the Survey team charts the grid of our ephemeral paradise, Black Rock City comes to life – a testament to the joy and significance of communal creation.
