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.

InterFuse 2026: Biohazard Bloom
In a world ravaged by pollutants, toxins, and waste.. a cataclysm has befallen the earth, but life has not perished; it has mutated.
The wasteland here is not barren, but overflowing with mutated, glowing, and strangely beautiful life that has adapted to harsh conditions.
The familiar landscapes have given way to a vibrant, unsettling ecosystem where the very substances that once threatened existence now fuel a new, bizarre, and beautiful burst of life.
It's a world where radiation has given birth to bioluminescent flora, where scavenged technology has been incorporated into organic forms, and where the "hazard" is also the source of new, vibrant, and unsettling beauty.
Explore the paradox of danger and beauty, decay and rebirth. A moment in time where the "hazard" is intrinsically linked to the "bloom." Discover the radiance in ruin and celebrate the relentless, often grotesque, ingenuity of adaptation.

Burning Nest
Burning Nest is a week of art, play, and mischief in a Devon woodland. It’s a participatory event, meaning no spectators, no commerce – just curious humans co-creating magic together, one ridiculous idea at a time.
