The Burning Man festival is known for its wild parties, creative art installations, and free-spirited atmosphere. Normalement, festival-goers (also known as “burners”) have to deal with extreme heat, dust and sandstorms, but this year, the festival is facing very different kind of challenges.
D'abord, there was the flooding. Tropical Storm Hilary dumped several inches of rain on the Black Rock Desert, turning the playa into a muddy mess. The flooding damaged some of the artwork that had been created for the festival, and it also forced the gates to be closed for two days.
In one shocking photo from after the storm, an eventgoer in the desert was seen navigating the landscape in a kayak.
Nous avons enfin eu une Lazy River sur la playa!

The Burning Man Project announced on Monday that the opening of the gates and access to the playa would be postponed due to flooding in the Black Rock Desert.
Access was finally granted on Wednesday at 12pm so that participants could start setting up camp before the start of the event which is scheduled to take place from August 27 à septembre 4.
Alors, there were the tarantulas. The area is currently in the middle of tarantula season, and the spiders have been migrating to the Burning Man festival site. While tarantulas are not typically aggressive towards humans, their presence has added to the general sense of chaos and unease.
Perhaps the joyous critters heard about this year’s theme being “Animalia” and decided to join in for some fun?
Even before the recent flooding, tickets to Burning Man 2023 appeared to be widely available for as low as $109 – an unusually low price for one of the most anticipated events of the year. This is a sharp contrast to previous years, when tickets have typically sold out quickly and commanded high prices on the secondary market.
There are a number of factors that could be contributing to the abundance of tickets this year. The challenges of last year’s burn, including extreme heat, dust storms, and COVID-19 outbreaks, may have turned some people off from attending. This year’s challenges, pourtant, are quite different.
