Jump To Comment: 1Burning Man festival is an event which has grown from being a beach party celebrating the summer solstice to the incarnation of personal freedom, radical self expression. If you’re looking for a totally unique experience, The Burning Man Festival will provide you with one, but only if you participate. The event starts on the Monday before and ends on the day of the American Labor Day holiday. It takes its name from the ritual burning of a large wooden effigy on Saturday evening. It is a weird festival but you can have great adventure galloping down the drink to soothe your dried throats due to the ragging heat of the festive jive. But entertainment is at a premium and all kinds of musical, theatrical and visual arts performances happen spontaneously in addition to less orthodox events like raves and mud wrestling party. The Burning Man festival is a total maddening experience one will have in the lifetime.The burning of a 40 foot wooden man in the middle of the Black Rock Desert is only a small part of the 8 day festive.
