Burning Man is Built By You

Regional Event

SNRG – Southern Nevada Regional Gathering

SNRG is a Burning Man regional art festival in April rooted at its HOME, Spicer Ranch, where firelight, creativity, and community converge under expansive desert skies. This pyro-centric gathering ignites large and small-scale art, pulsing DJs, mutant vehicles, theme camps, excessive dancing, playful events, and an unapologetic amount of frolicking. All pARTicipants are welcome here, including the delightfully strange, because SNRG thrives on radical inclusion and shared wonder.
