They replaced the second “o” in the Google logo with a stick figure holding a placard that read “Burning Man”. The doodle was intended to let users know that the founders would be away from the office attending the festival.

The opening of the gate to Burning Man 2023 was delayed due to flooding caused by Tropical Storm Hilary.

De playa, de droge bodem van het meer waar het evenement wordt gehouden, stond onder een paar centimeter water, en er bestond een risico op zinkgaten en andere veiligheidsrisico's.

The Burning Man Project worked to clear the playa and make it safe for participants. The event kicked off on August 27th as planned, and the festival is currently ongoing.
