Burning Man, Annual event in the western United States
Burning Man is a festival that happens every year in Black Rock Desert, Nevada.
The first Burning Man happened on a San Francisco beach in 1986.
The event is described as an experiment in community and art, emphasizing radical self-reliance and self-expression.
Every year, participants build a temporary city in the desert, complete with homes, venues for performance artists, and artwork installations.
At the end of the event, many structures including a giant wooden effigy (the 'Man') are burnt down.
