Think Globally, Burn Locally

With Burning Man groups in 36 US states and 34 countries, you don’t have to go to the desert to experience the culture.

Burning Man is Built By You

Burning Man is not something you attend — it’s something you do. Your support for the nonprofit funds Honoraria art, makes Black Rock City tickets accessible to more people, and nurtures a more creative, connected world.

Where the Sheep Sleep

Where The Sheep Sleep is more than just a celebration of community: it is a massive, immersive, interactive playground that we all build and live in for four days. A burn is a community-driven event where participants create a temporary space for art, self-expression, and collaboration, following principles like gifting, participation, and leaving no trace—everyone contributes, and nothing is left behind.

Element 11

A surreal fusion of color, sound, and stardust. Where alien flora blooms under bass-heavy skies, and everyday feels like a trip through a Martian's garden.

Amber Burn

Amber Burn is a regional Burning Man community gathering in Lithuania that is organized and run entirely by volunteers, following the ten principles of Burning Man. We all, including YOU, create a more expressive and exciting reality together.​ As a part of the Burning Man family, we are a community where everyone is welcome. No prerequisites exist for participation. It’s an environment that encourages individuals to rely on their inner resources and creativity. Amber Burn only happens if you and I and all of us make a communal effort to gift and make it happen.

Elsewhere

At its core, Elsewhere is a giant social experiment. It's where art and chaos bubble up from the collective. It's creativity, connection, and collective effort, guided by our shared principles (think Gifting, Self-Reliance, Leave No Trace… the good stuff).
