The news after the event has happened. That's normal these days. There were no headlines over the weekend for the Burning Man Festival It was Aug 25 - Sep 2.
Looking at the pictures, it certainly takes up a vast expanse of desert. In fact what it seems to be is a fantastic photo opportunity. Great pictures everywhere - and everywhere included more than 70,000 people. There have been some celebrated artists involved in the sculptures. The first Burning Man was 8 feet on Baker Beach near San Francisco. In 2019 it was an astonishing 61 feet high.
The theme this year was Curiouser and Curiouser. That's a reference to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Can you imagine that this is 38 years old now?
I've made the first mistake. It is not a festival. It says that: "It's a city wherein almost everything that happens is created entirely by its citizens, who are active participants in the experience."
The website is HERE. It is more interesting to watch one of the video - it looks like a 1960s event! The title is Sparkly Things and Fire at Burning Man 2024. If you want to see the "burning man" this is the video HERE. A lot of fireworks - I expect way more than Niagara Falls. And then of course -the 61 feet or more of burning man burns.
