    Burning Man 2024 Ticket Registration Ends
    May 22 2024
    Burning Man 2024 Ticket Registration Ends: Time to Gear Up for the Playa!
    Burning Man, the famed week-long experiment in community, art, and self-expression in the Black Rock Desert, has closed its ticket registration for the 2024 event. As of today, May 22nd, 2024, hopeful Burners who haven't secured their ticket will need to wait until next year's registration opens.

    This year, Burning Man followed its established ticketing system, offering tickets in phases to distribute them fairly. The registration process typically starts in May, allowing aspiring attendees to create Burner Profiles and register for the sales they wish to participate in. Each sale has a dedicated registration window, and registering doesn't guarantee a ticket.
    Non-Transferable Tickets Foster Community Spirit
    Burning Man emphasizes a unique gifting economy and discourages commercialization. To uphold this principle, tickets are non-transferable. This ensures that those who attend are genuinely interested in participating in the event's unique culture and contributing to Black Rock City.
    Looking Ahead: Preparation and The Official Source
    For those who missed out this year, don't fret! The Burning Man Project website [burningman.org] serves as the official source for all ticketing information and updates. Here, you can find details about next year's registration process, including anticipated dates and any potential changes.
    In the meantime, use this time to delve deeper into Burning Man's philosophies and principles. Familiarize yourself with Leave No Trace practices and explore the event's rich history and art culture. Burning Man is much more than just a ticket; it's a commitment to a unique and transformative experience.
    So, dust off your creativity, brainstorm your camp theme, and get ready to embrace the playa in 2025!

  • The Road to Black Rock Desert: Burning Man 2024

    The Road to Black Rock Desert: Burning Man 2024
    Apr 23 2024
    The Road to Black Rock Desert: Your Burning Man 2024 Guide
    Now, there are places in America that pull on a person's imagination, and one of the strangest, yet most extraordinary, is found out in that great expanse of Nevada called the Black Rock Desert. It's a place as flat and dusty as the far side of the moon, a blank canvas some might say. But once a year, for a fleeting week, it transforms. A city rises – Black Rock City – a vibrant, cacophonous testament to the human spirit. This is Burning Man.
    A City Unlike Any Other
    Think of it not as a festival, but an experiment in creativity and community unlike any other in the world. You won't find stages with headliners or food vendors lining the streets. Burning Man runs on participation. The tens of thousands who make the pilgrimage to this dusty playa are the creators, the entertainers, the very heart of the experience.
    Artists haul in fantastical sculptures, towering metal behemoths breathing fire. Mutant vehicles roam the desert, looking like they've escaped from the pages of a Mad Max film. Theme camps spring up – from quiet yoga retreats to round-the-clock dance parties – offering experiences, services, or sometimes just a cool drink in the midday heat.
    The Spirit of the Burn
    Burning Man has a set of principles guiding its existence. "Radical Inclusion" means everyone's welcome, from veteran Burners to wide-eyed newcomers. "Gifting" is just that: sharing food, trinkets, a helping hand, simply for the pleasure of giving. And "Radical Self-Reliance" – well, that's how this whole dusty endeavor survives.
    You won't find anything for sale at Burning Man (except ice and coffee). You need to bring it all – water, food, shelter to brave the scorching days and surprisingly chilly nights, a bicycle to get around, and all the costumes and wild accouterments your heart desires. "Leaving No Trace" is paramount. This city vanishes as quickly as it arrives, leaving the desert pristine.
    The Culmination
    The Man, a towering wooden effigy, stands at the city's center. As Saturday night descends, he is spectacularly set alight in a brilliant bonfire, a symbolic release of the week that's passed. Come Sunday, there's the Temple, a place for quiet reflection, for remembering loved ones lost, for leaving burdens behind. It too will burn, a poignant farewell to Black Rock City.
    Preparing Your Journey
    Burning Man 2024, themed "Curiouser and Curiouser," takes place from August 25th to September 2nd. Tickets are notoriously difficult to get, so plan well in advance. The Burning Man website (https://burningman.org/) is your bible – Survival Guide, FAQs, everything you'll need.
    This ain't a spectator sport, friend. You want to camp with a group, pitch in, share the load. Consider if a theme camp aligns with your interests – those folks will be your Burning Man family. And the desert – it's harsh. Study up, prepare like you're venturing off the beaten track, because in a way, you are.
    The Reward
    Burning Man can be transformative in unexpected ways. It's a place to shed inhibitions, embrace your eccentricities, find unexpected connections. It's physically demanding, sure, but the rewards...well, you might leave a bit dustier, a bit more tired, but chances are, your spirit will be soaring. And that's the magic of this curious gathering in the middle of nowhere that so many thousands journey to find.

  • 10 Principles of Burning Man

    10 Principles of Burning Man
    Apr 9 2024
    The 10 Principles of Burning Man
    Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey wrote the 10 Principles in 2004 as guidelines for the newly-formed Regional Network. They were crafted not as a dictate of how people should be and act, but as a reflection of the community’s ethos and culture as it had organically developed since the event’s inception.

    Radical Inclusion
    Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.

    Gifting
    Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

    Decommodification
    In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

    Radical Self-reliance
    Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on their inner resources.

    Radical Self-expression
    Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.

    Communal Effort
    Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.

    Civic Responsibility
    We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

    Leaving No Trace
    Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.

    Participation
    Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.

    Immediacy
    Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.
