Burning Man Festival

Hi everybody!

Since we were talking about festivals, especially about the Holi festival and about the Burning Man festival, in our last English lesson, I decided to inform you now about the Burning Man festival.

I thought you might be interested because Burning Man is one of the biggest festivals in the world.

Every year the art event takes place in the Black Rock Desert. The week-long event attracts about 50,000 people who live in temporary tent cities. At the festival the people are encouraged to perform and to organise activities.

The highlight of the festival is the burning of a 40-foot-tall wooden man.

What interested me most was that there are a lot of "own rules" for the event. For example the use of money is forbidden, everyone has to bring his own food and automobiles are forbidden. (except they have been transformed into "art cars".

What do you think about the festival? Let me know!

Regards, Julian
