Desert deluge failed to dampen my Burning Man spirit
AFR correspondent Michael Smith finally made it to his first Burning Man festival, only to see a freak storm transform the desert site into a huge quagmire. The party, however, didn’t miss a beat.
Black Rock Desert, Nevada | It’s hard to describe the Burning Man festival, staged each year in the middle of the Nevada desert, to the uninitiated.
An “arts and music festival” undersells this unique gathering where anything goes and many “real world” basics such as money do not exist. Think Mad Max meets Alice in Wonderland in a Woodstock setting.
