There are hundreds of Burning Man events around the world and Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, is Burning Man Project’s signature annual gathering. Black Rock City brings all of Burning Man Project’s program areas as well as the 10 Principles to life in a large-scale instantiation of the Burning Man arts and cultural experiment. Tens of thousands of people converge on a dry lakebed in Nevada, build a fully functional city where they live and work for a week, then make it disappear without a trace. In this crucible of creativity, all are welcome!
We are excited to build Black Rock City with you again in 2025! Learn about our theme for the year, Burning Man 2025: Tomorrow Today. Whether you’re new to Black Rock City or an old hand, please see our most recent Survival Guide to get current on all the ways to survive and thrive in a sometimes unforgiving desert environment.
