Meet Me on the Esplanade

By Jamie Lee Hamann

Last night the man burned and thousands of "Burners" ran towards a giant wooden man consumed in flame. Family is found within the random works of art whether sitting in camping chairs and sharing stories with passing "burners" or enjoying a Chai at Center Camp while listening to live music and watching ribbon dancers dance high above.
Burn night brings family formed over the event together for an amazing night of flame and celebration.
Every year the week before Labor Day thousands of Burners travel through Reno to attend Burning Man. Burning Man is a gathering to experiment with collective living, survival camping, and art in an area called Black Rock City.
Black Rock City is one of the largest cities in Nevada for the week that is built. An amazing achievement to witness.
Larry Harvey created the experience in the Bay Area and moved to The Black Rock Desert a few years after the festival began in the 1980's.
The Black Rock Desert provides the perfect foundation for a city built surrounding a wooden man that eventually is burned.
A festival that prides itself on keeping a strict "pack it in pack it out" policy and not only requires its participants to follow strict guidelines to avoid environmental disruption but spends thousands of dollars in clean up after the event.
