Burning Man is a week-long annual event held in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada in the United States. The event begins on the last Monday in August and ends on the first Monday in September which coincides with the American Labor Day holiday. It takes its name from the ritual burning of a large wooden effigy which is set alight on Saturday evening. The event is described as an experiment in community art radical self-expression and radical self-reliance.
