Started in 1986 as two friends burning an eight-foot statue on a San Francisco beach. It has grown into an event that sets a 105-feet tall statue on fire around the summer solstice.

This year’s Burning Man festival is taking place on August 27th to September 4th. But has already been responsible for stunning photos that prove how wild it actually is.
Still, billed as a “Radical Ritual,” Burning up Man 2017 has become a desert oasis for about 70,000 people. No doubt it describes itself as a “temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. Ultimately scroll down to experience the crazy “ritual” through pictures, and don’t forget to vote for your favorite ones!
