Organizers do an excellent job of cleaning up after the 65,000 something crowd.
Held in a 7 square mile area in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, Burning Man is probably one of the most exclusive events to be held on planet Earth. With stunning art installations, great musical performances and just an overall incomparable experience, it’sΒ no wonder why thousands of people buy up all of their priceyΒ tickets in a matter of hours if not minutes. Setting up such a festival every year in the middle of nowhere is a real challenge but the organizers have really mastered it over the years. What’s even more impressive is their ability to leave the desert more or less in the same condition they found it.
