10 Breathtaking Outfits That Stole the Show at Burning Man 2022
Ah Burning Man, a community-based event like none other. Since 2004, the Burning Man Project has been guided by 10 principles, among them “Radical Self-expression.” Altogether, these guidelines are a gentle reminder of what the Burn is all about: letting your imagination run amok on the playa.

Year after year, roughly 80,000 people gather in Black Rock City in the Nevada desert. And it’s fascinating to bear witness to how each Burner shows up and, well, dresses up.

Look Inside North Coast Music Festival 2022, a Cosmic Festival Experience In Chicago
