The 2024 Burning Man theme is "Curiouser & Curiouser" and celebrates puzzles without answers, irrationality, the absurd, and the unknown. The festival will take place in Black Rock City, Nevada from August 25 to September 2, 2024. The theme encourages people to embrace the unknown and experience profound learning and growth through moments of curiosity.
Burning Man is a temporary city in the desert that focuses on community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. It's more like a countercultural arts event that lasts about nine days. The festival is known for being surreal, dusty, and quirky.
