Festival-goers were advised to take shelter and conserve resources due to ongoing heavy rainfall in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, leading to movement in and out of Black Rock City being halted.
Burning Man festival attendees were urged to remain indoors and ration their supplies of food and water on Friday due to persistent heavy rainfall in the Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada.
By Friday evening, all movement in and out of Black Rock City had been suspended, while the entrance gate and airport were also shut down, the event organisers reported. Burning Man is a celebration of self-expression that culminates in the ceremonial burning of a towering 40ft effigy. Its origins can be traced back to the incineration of an eight-foot wooden"man" on San Francisco's Baker Beach in 1986, which eventually evolved into an annual gathering in the Black Rock Desert.This content is provided by, which may be using cookies and other technologies.
