Burning Man 2026 will once again transform Nevada’s Black Rock Desert into Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis built on creativity, self-expression, and radical community. Held in late August through early September 2026, the festival gathers tens of thousands of participants from around the world to co-create large-scale art installations, theme camps, performances, and interactive experiences unlike anywhere else on earth.

Known for its iconic burning rituals, immersive art, and leave-no-trace principles, Burning Man is not a traditional festival, it’s a cultural movement where attendees shape the experience themselves. Expect a mix of visionary art pieces, mutant vehicles, desert nightlife, and powerful moments of connection as the community returns for another year of imagination without limits.
