Over the last 31 years, Burning Man has evolved from a bonfire among friends in San Francisco to an international mega-event attended by modern-day hippies and tech moguls alike.
Nearly 70,000 so-called burners descended on the "playa" in a Nevada desert last week for the annual counterculture gathering. The festival is offering its standard fare of surreal art installations, over 130 musical acts, celebrity sightings, and out-of-this-world fashion.
Some say you have to experience the world of Burning Man to understand its magic. In the meantime, these photos of Burning Man 2017 offer a glimpse of what it's like to attend.
Each year, a city rises on a remote swath of desert in Nevada. Burners call this temporary metropolis "Black Rock City."
The festival forms in the same shape every year: a giant semi-circle.
They arrive by private plane, car, or "mutant vehicle" — a souped-up theme car.
So is this light-strung vehicle.
These range from "radical inclusion" — the belief that anyone may be a part of Burning Man — to a ban on commercial sponsorships, transactions, and advertising on festival grounds.
The festival is also known for its dust storms. Goggles and bandanas worn on the face can help.
Some choose to go by "playa names," instead of their real ones. The woman pictured below calls herself Lulu.
Clothing is optional.
