Despite the challenges, Burning Man remains a popular event, przyciąganie ponad 80,000 participants each year. The event is known for its unique culture of self-expression, creativity, and community.

The Burning Man Traffic account tweeted that the gate would remain closed until noon PT Wednesday, Sierpień 23, and that people with Work Access passes should not travel to Gerlach, as there were no rooms available.

The main spectacles, including the Man and the Świątynia Serca, were already laid, but theme camp and art project builds were halted.

The plan is part of the Biden Administration’s effort to get the U.S. power grid running on renewable sources of energy by 2035. Festival organizers, jednakże, contend that building up the plant and needed infrastructure could degrade local hot springs.
