It takes its name from the ritual burning of a large wooden statue on the 6^th day of the festival Theme of the festival are following: “Community, participation, self-expression, self-reliance; these tenets of Burning Man are lifeblood of the Burning Man experience.“

The Black Rock Desert in Nevada will be transformed into a ‘city’, showing innovative sculpture, installations, performance, theme camps, art cars and costumes. To carry this on beyond the festival,The Black Rock Arts Foundation has been established by the organisers for the purpose of supporting art.
