Black Rock City is a temporary, vibrant community created each year in Nevada for the famous Burning Man festival. It’s a unique place where art, self-expression, and radical creativity come alive in the desert.
Black Rock City in Nevada is considered an ephemeral city, in that it pops up every year for one week. When the week ends, the city is completely torn down only to reappear the following year. It’s home to the Burning Man arts festival, and it’s immensely popular with people from all walks of life.
At its busiest, the city houses nearly 70,000 temporary citizens living in everything from a tent to a fully loaded luxury motorhomes and RVs. You’ll find everything here that a regular city has: a post office, bars, clubs, restaurants, a volunteer police department, and an emergency services crew.
Burning Man is an annual event. It originally started in San Francisco back in 1986, but moved to the Nevada desert in 1990. Since then, this well-known festival occurs each year in late August or early September. Here’s what you need to know to fly to Burning Man.
When you book charter flights to Black Rock City to experience Burning Man, you’ll find yourself immersed in an ephemeral world that consists of a wide variety of activities. Though you are visiting a temporary town in the middle of the desert, there’s still lots to do.
Because the experience is created entirely by attendees, most visitors are required to provide some form of offering to the other participants. From instructing yoga classes to setting up a bar, here’s some of the more common activities that occur:
Yoga – there’s a large variety of classes offered at burning man. From serious practice to wild and crazy variations, there’s something for everyone.
The Thunderdome – While this can change each year, there’s typically a faux battlefield set up at Burning Man where participants can battle any way they choose.
Weddings – Looking to tie the knot? There’s typically a couple of wedding “stations” set up at Burning Man. From legal ceremonies to temporary ones, your wedding at Burning Man will be the best day of your life. Some other popular activities include:
Body Painting
Fire Dancing
Belly Dancing
Pop-up Art Galleries
Seminars
Mediation Booths
Massage Tents
Mutant vehicles
