You must have heard about Burning Man by now. The iconic festival conceived around the idea of art, community, and inclusion occurs annually at Black Rock Desert, Nevada, and ends with massive bone fire. Burning Man is an event like no other built on togetherness, openness, and kindness, which is why everyone should be part of it at least once. But, if that isn’t sealing the deal for you, check out four more reasons to go below.

Meeting New People

Burning Man has one of the most diverse communities out there. You’ll encounter painters, musicians, artists, philosophers, and people with all sorts of different interests. It is the perfect place to meet new people, hear unusual life stories, and make friends for life.

Music

There is no official lineup of musicians at Burning Man, but there is no need for that. Instead, the event will treat you to some of the most exciting shows you have been part of, and there is something for everyone. As a bonus, the music acts are usually unknown, so you will catch them before they become big and sell out.

You Can be Yourself

You won’t see people acting up at Burning Man. Its community welcomes everyone with open arms, and this is one of the rare places where you can be yourself without having a feeling that someone is judging you.

Tons to See and Experience

The site of Burning Man is enormous and packed up with tons of stuff to see and things to experience. There are art exhibits, meditation camps, classes on almost everything imaginable, and much more.
