burning man festival is yearly gathering of about 50,000 people, many from the San Francisco Bay Area, celebrating life, passion and art during one week in a desolated desert in Nevada.

The event takes place each last week of august in an immense dry lakebed called Black Rock Desert. A temporary city is built where about everything is permitted except violence, money and commerce.

The culmination of the event is the burning of a large human-shape figure in a giant bon-fire, hence the name (burning man festival). The city disappears completely at the end of the week, leaving no trace.
