On-site camping is available for tents and RVs, and there are food trucks and workshops as well. As a family-friendly weekend event, it will be held in 2026 from August 14 to 16.

Burning Man is a global cultural movement that emerges in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, USA. Officially, it is presented as a nonprofit initiative aiming for a more creative and connected society, building a temporary city in the desert that brings together over 70,000 people. The city exists for about eight days and then disappears without a trace. In 2026, the theme is “Axis Mundi,” celebrating interconnectedness and our bond with nature, and the event will be held from August 30 to September 7.
