Burning Man history

Burning Man 2018 takes place August 26 – September 3, 2018 in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.

An event that organizers define as "an experiment to create a society of freedom and radical expression" is held every year for the past 30 years! 

The founder of Burning Man is the artist Larry Harvey.

In 1986, he and his friends arranged a party on the beach in San Francisco, where the culmination was the burning of a wooden man.

Later, the festival moved to the Black Rock desert in Nevada, and the number of participants increased from 20 to 70,000.
