First-Timer’s Guide
Burning Man is not a festival. Burning Man is a community. A temporary city. A global cultural movement based on 10 practical principles.
We don’t book acts or provide entertainment. What happens here is up to you! There is no corporate sponsorship. You are entering a “decommodified” space that values who you are, not what you have. You are expected to collaborate, be inclusive, connective and clean up after yourself. Participate actively as a citizen of Black Rock City.
Wondering where to begin? Here are some resources to help you get started.
Get Involved
The power of the Burning Man experience is held by each member of the community. It requires everyone to do their part.
