Burning Man 2027: Black Rock City runs August 29 to September 6
Burning Man is less a music festival than a temporary city, Black Rock City, built each summer in the Black Rock Desert of northern Nevada, roughly 100 miles north-northeast of Reno. It began on June 22, 1986, on Baker Beach in San Francisco, started by Larry Harvey and Jerry James, and moved to the desert in 1990. The event is run by the Burning Man Project, a nonprofit organization.
The 2027 edition is scheduled for August 29 to September 6, 2027, under the theme "Spellbound". It lasts nine days and ends on Labor Day weekend, with the Man burned on Saturday night and the Temple on Sunday.
Tickets are sold through tickets.burningman.org in several phases, most of which require prior registration. The 2027 sale calendar has not been published yet; in 2026, the Main Sale ran from April 29 to May 8.
