    Understanding the Burning Man Festival

    Understanding the Burning Man Festival
  • At Burning Man, various forms of artistic self-expression are explored and participation is a key precept.

    It is influenced by 10 main principles, including radical inclusion, self-reliance, self-expression, community cooperation, civic responsibility, gifting, de-commodification, participation, immediacy and leaving no trace.

    It takes its name from the symbolic ritual burning of a large wooden effigy that occurs on the Saturday evening of the festival.
