BURNING MAN.. Your true test of survival.
One of the most well-known occasions in the world, the Burning Man Festival occurs annually in the United States in Black Rock, Nevada. In honor of Labor Day, tens of thousands of people gather every year for 8 days solely in August and September to celebrate art and creativity. The celebrations culminate in a massive bonfire when a sizable stuffed puppet is burned, giving rise to the moniker "burning man."
Artists from all over the world began to assemble, prepared with camp equipment and all they would need to survive the 104° heat. The region where this event is celebrated every year has no any mobile signal, thus it is also known as the "Festival of No Phones".
The real burning of a huge wooden figure known as the Man serves as the event's highlight. This is where the event got its name. The Man is always set ablaze on the festival's seventh day, which falls on the Saturday before Labor Day. There were around 30 people who came and burn down a 3 -meter tall stuffed puppet on San Francisco beaches to celebrate, marking the beginning of the Burning Man Festival.
