Burning Man 2026
Art, expression, and community
Each August, the Black Rock Desert transforms into Black Rock City - a temporary home to tens of thousands who come together to build, create, and celebrate radical self-expression. There's no audience here, only participants: everyone plays a hand in the art, the performances, and the experience itself.
How Do I Get Tickets?
Tickets move fast. Early-bird sales typically open in mid-to-late January, with the Low-Income Ticket Application following shortly thereafter. Every sale is final, but the Secure Ticket Exchange Program (STEP) gives you a safe route to buy or sell face-value tickets, and vehicle passes if your plans change.
