The 2023 Burning Man festival was marred by rain, which led to mudslides, vehicle stuck in the mud, and the evacuation of thousands of attendees. The Burning Man organization has apologized for the "disaster" conditions and has pledged to do better next year.
Despite the challenges, many attendees still had a positive experience at Burning Man 2023. The festival is known for its creativity, community, and self-expression, and these qualities shone through even in the mud.
Burning Man 2024 is scheduled to take place from August 26 to September 2, 2024. The theme for the year is "Ritual." Organizers are hoping for better weather conditions next year, but they are also preparing for the possibility of rain.
