The Burning Man Festival was first held by Larry Harvey and his group of friends in 1986. They named the event Burning Man because it began as a bonfire ritual on the summer solstice on Baker Beach in San Francisco.Since then, the gathering has been organised by the Burning Man Project and has become an annual event which this year was attended by over 70,000 'burners'. And for many, it marks the end of summer, the festival is rounded off by living up to its title - with the burning of a giant wooden man-shaped construct.
There are numerous art installations to admire, performance arts and sculpting classes which are burned at the end of the festival.
Festival goers are encouraged to show themselves and their personalities through various forms of artistic self-expression.
Some works are committed to fire in the first days of the event. The main principle of the festival is not to leave physical trace.
Burning Man attracts a lot of different people - from unknown artists to show business stars. But they all obey the basic rule - everyone should be a participant, not an observer.
Since 1995, it has become the tradition to sound the main theme of the festival, and all objects of self-expression should correspond to it.
At the time of the festival, you can meet people in the most unusual costumes, because Burning Man gives the opportunity to express themselves in a variety of genres.
