BURNING MAN: A Festival Summarized By SimoTheFinlandized / Paul P. - 2022 CE; Burning Man is a festival that
happens every year at Black Rock
Desert in northern Nevada, in the
United States. It lasts a week, and it
starts on the last Monday in August,
and ends on the first Monday in
September (which is also Labor Day
in the U.S.). The festival is called
Burning Man because a large wood
sculpture of a man is set on fire on
Saturday. The festival has been
happening every year since 1990.
Many people go to Burning Man; in
2012, over 55,000 people were there.
The Black Rock desert is far from
any cities or towns, and is very dry,
so people who go to Burning Man
have to bring their own water, food,
and shelter.
