BURNING MAN

Burning Man is an event focused on

community, art, self-expression, and self-
reliance held annually in the western United
States. The name of the event comes from
its culminating ceremony: the symbolic
burning of a large wooden effigy, referred to
as the Man, that occurs on the penultimate night of Burning Man, which is the
Saturday evening before Labor Day. The event has been located since 1991 at
Black Rock City in northwestern Nevada, a temporary city erected in the Black
Rock Desert about 100 miles north-northeast of Reno. As outlined by Burning Man
co-founder Larry Harvey in 2004, the event is guided by ten principles: radical
inclusion, gifting, decommodification, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression,
communal effort, civic responsibility, leaving no trace, participation, and
immediacy.

HISTORY
Burning Man was inaugurated in 1986,
when Larry Harvey and Jerry James—two
members of the San Francisco arts
community—burned an eight-foot- (two-
metre-) tall wooden effigy of a man on San
Francisco's Baker Beach in celebration of
the summer solstice. Twenty people
witnessed the event.

time there
