release and renewal.

The 2020 Burning Man event theme explores the quantum kaleidoscope of possibility, the infinite realities of the multiverse, and our own superpositioning as actors and observers in the cosmic Cacophony of resonant strings. Welcome to the Multiverse! journal.burningman.org/2019/10/philos
Decommodification! We’ve discovered several concierge companies offering packaged camp accommodations, and camps offering full plug-and-play amenities in #BRC. Please help us stop behavior that takes our culture in the wrong direction by reporting to doingitwrong@burningman.org
"It’s time for people to do what we do every year at Burning Man. Don’t be a spectator. Get out there. Connect like crazy with people you don’t even know. Tell them that they must participate, and, above all else, please, welcome them home.” -Larry Harvey

So... It was a bit dusty this year!

That moment you realize deep sadness and mind-blowing joy can coexist. 🤯
Burning Man is not a festival. Burning Man is a community, a temporary city, and a global cultural movement based on 10 practical Principles. We don't book acts or provide entertainment. What happens in #BRC is up to you!
*BOOM* Burning Man is OPEN! You can officially start your intrepid inter-dimensional adventures in the eight Universes of the Burning Man Multiverse . What are you looking forward to experiencing, and where? #burningman #multiverse #thankslarry
As members of our global community continue to honor Burning Man culture this weekend, we urge everyone to refrain from gathering unsafely in large groups, maintain public health, and respect local, state, and federal guidelines. Let’s all help prevent the spread of the COVID-19.
Larry Harvey and Jerry James burned the first man on San Francisco's Baker Beach on June 21, 1986. On June 21, 2018 we invite you to join a Global Celebration and Day of Gratitude honoring our original founder and fire starter. #thankslarry journal.burningman.org/2018/06/news/o
