A Global Movement

Let’s Build a City, Together!
Whether it’s your first, or 21st Burn, there are SO many ways to participate in making Black Rock City happen.

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.

Work with Burning Man Project
Always wanted to work for the Man? Burning Man Project is looking for good people to fill seasonal roles in Black Rock City and Gerlach.

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.

SideBurn 2026: The Great Rewilding
SideBurn is a vibrant arts, cultural, and camping event held near Stone Mills, Ontario, where creative individuals gather to radically express themselves, share their art and offerings, and collaboratively shape a unique experience for one another. This year’s theme calls us back to our roots, to the wild within and around us. A return to instinct, imagination, and play. It’s a celebration of nature’s chaos, human creativity, and our deep connection and respect for the earth that holds us. Together we become forest spirits, glowing fungi, creatures of light and laughter, co-creating with the land rather than upon it. The Great Rewilding is a living reminder that the wilderness was never lost, only waiting for us to awaken.
