Burning Man :: Welcome Home


	Updated March 22, 2013
	2013 Art Theme: Cargo Cult Who is John Frum? Across the ages and around the world, the stories all agree: one day he will return, bearing great gifts. What Is Burning Man? Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. Burning Man is also an ever-expanding year-round culture based on the Ten Principles. What Isn't Burning Man? Burning Man isn't your usual festival, with big acts booked to play on massive stages. In fact, it's more of a city than a festival, wherein almost everything that happens is created entirely by its citizens, who are active participants in the event. Ticket Information For all the latest information about tickets to Burning Man 2013, visit our tickets page. Want to Volunteer? Give the gift of your time to the Burning Man community -- on playa or year-round. Volunteer! Please note that first-time volunteers do not receive a ticket to the event.
