Black Rock Desert, Nevada plays host to well over 70 thousand people every year from August 28 to September 5th, prior to this year Corovavirus pandemic of course, which was this year’s event cancelled.

Burning Man Festival first kicked off in 1986 on San Francisco Beach as three friends built an improvised wooden figure and dragged it to Baker beach for Summer Solstice. In celebration, they set fire to the wooden figure, which drew attention from a large crowd of inquisitive and curious folk who came to watch the fire burn. 34 years later, the festival is now housed in the Nevada Desert and draws crowds of over 70,000 revellers every single year. True story.
