What is the Burning Man?

Burning Man is a late-summer arts festival held annually at Black Rock City in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada. The event is dedicated to free artistic expression and communal collaboration. It features colossal, experimental, and often interactive art installations, themed camps, and performances, although the highlight remains the burning of a massive effigy, known as “The Man.”
