Black Rock City erupts annually in Nevada's Black Rock Desert for Burning Man, the world's wildest art festival. Towering sculptures rise from the dusty playa, mutant vehicles prowl at night, and 70,000 burners create instant streets like Esplanade and Rod's Road. Park your RV at New York Dangerous or Lamplighters to dive straight into the chaos from a stable base.
Black Rock City materializes each late summer solely for Burning Man, drawing creators since 1986 to the vast, alkaline playa.
