Burning Man 2026 returns to the Nevada desert with the evocative theme "Axis Mundi," inviting participants to explore the symbolic center of the world where the celestial and terrestrial converge. This is not a traditional festival but a temporary metropolis known as Black Rock City, built entirely by its citizens. Guided by the Ten Principles—including Radical Inclusion, Gifting, and Decommodification—the event serves as a global crucible for art, self-expression, and communal effort.

Event Highlights:

• The Man: The towering wooden effigy at the city's heart, serving as the ultimate focal point before its ritualistic burn on Saturday night.
• The Temple: A sacred space for reflection, grief, and release, which will be burned in solemn silence on the final night of the event.
• Art & Sound: The playa will be transformed by massive Experimental art installations and mutant vehicles. While there is no official lineup, legendary sound camps such as Robot Heart and Mayan Warrior will provide a continuous landscape of House, Techno, and Bass Music.
• Radical Participation: Every attendee is a participant, contributing to the city's infrastructure, art, and vibrant culture through volunteerism and gifting.
