One of the most well-known occasions in the nation, the Burning Man Festival (the late-summer celebration of arts, community, self-awareness, creative imagination, and adventure), occurs annually in the United States in Black Rock City, Nevada. Burning Man was named because the celebrations resulted in a massive bonfire when a gigantic, overstuffed puppet was burnt.
What is Burning Man Festival? – Time to Reveal the Truth
Burning Man was created in 1986 when two San Francisco-based artists, Larry Harvey and Jerry James, set atop a two-meter-tall (8-foot) wooden man sculpture on Baker Beach to burn in remembrance of the summer solstice. Millions of people gather annually to celebrate art and innovation for 8 days between August and September. The name of one of the great festivals in the USA refers to the ritual burning of a huge wooden effigy that represents the guy killed that night (the evening before Labor Day). Harvey and James returned to the spot four years later with noticeably larger effigies. In 1990, the police finally intervened when they built a 40-foot-tall effigy for immolation. As a result, the festival’s location was shifted to the Black Rock Desert, where the effigy was set ablaze on Labor Day weekend in early September. Once the location was shifted, it never returned to the previous locations. Instead, it made the Black Rock Desert its permanent home and Labor Day its permanent calendar landmark.
Burning Man has become an annual affair in Black Rock City since 1991. The artists gather from different parts the nation, along with the camp equipment as they need to stay calm in the 104° temps. Due to the lack of phone signal nearby, the event is also known as the Festival of No Phones.
