Burning Man Festival To Go Virtual

And like the other music festivals of the 2020 season, Burning Man has been called off due to what organizers called “the painful reality of COVID-19.”

Planned to place in the Nevada desert from August 30 to September 7, the cancellation marks a first in the event’s 34-year history.

Fortunately Burners can still attend, just virtually. Black Rock City will be built on a website dubbed the Multiverse, which would have been this year’s theme.

“We’re not sure how it’s going to come out; it will likely be messy and awkward with mistakes. It will also likely be engaging, connective, and fun,” admits a statement on the Burning Man website.
