Set in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, the Burning Man Festival attracts 35,000 attendees each year who come together to create Black Rock City, centered around a towering wooden effigy. Originally conceived as a personal healing ritual by Larry Harvey in 1986, the festival has transformed into a vibrant cultural movement. It blends elements of ceremony, religion, visual art, and performance, fostering a unique community experience that celebrates creativity and self-expression on a grand scale.
