It was a long-awaited return to the playa — and all its eccentricities. After a two-year pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, Burning Man, one of the most impressive weeklong festival-like experiences, is back in full force. And it’s as wild and colorful as ever. Tens of thousands of Burners gathered to build a temporary metropolis and celebrate community, art, music, self-expression, and — of course — fire.
Running from August 28th through September 5th in Nevada’s remote Black Rock Desert, few large-scale events are as compelling and overwhelming as this spectacle. Even with thick coatings of swirling alkaline dust and soaring temperatures, it has now evolved into a magnificent scenery of the craziest costumes, quirky art cars, and experimental living in some of the most hostile conditions on the planet.
