Tens of thousands of people are effectively trapped and can’t leave the event after a rainstorm pummelled the desert playground and turned it into a swampy mud pit.
Tens of thousands of revellers at the Burning Man festival have been told to shelter in place and conserve food and water after a heavy storm flooded the area and left attendees stranded in disastrous conditions.
“Do not travel to Black Rock City! Access to the city is closed for the remainder of the event, and you will be turned around,” the organisers said on X, the social media platform formally known as Twitter. Social media photos and videos also painted a disaster zone, with partygoers trying to make their way through muddy outdoor dance floors, while stages and campsites were soaking wet, with dark clouds on the horizon.
Burning Man is a counterculture festival that began in 1986 and is best known for its concluding event, in which a giant, humanesque sculpture is set alight.The event attracts tens of thousands of people each year, from ordinary partygoers and emerging artists, DJs and performers, to celebrities and influencers.
