Burning Man 2019 Just Ended And Here Are 30 Photos Proving It’s The Craziest Festival In The World
This summer has been far hotter than usual and plenty of us have been practically melting in the unseasonable heat. However, this did nothing to stop fans from attending the epic Burning Man festival. In fact, it seemed that the heat only spurred them on — this year, the gathering was even crazier, wackier and more off-the-hook than usual!
Burning Man 2019 took place in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada and lasted from August 25 until September 2, and just like every year, this famous festival was fantastic. But then again, does Burning Man ever disappoint? Because autumn rains are already upon us and we’re in need of some of that glorious Nevada heat, Bored Panda brings you this sizzling list of the coolest photos from this year’s festival. So keep on scrolling, share with your friends, and drop us a comment about which Burning Man pictures you liked best and why. Once you’re done, have a look through Bored Panda’s lists about the Burning Man festivals from 2018 and 2017 as well. See how they compare with this year’s festivities for yourself and let us know which year’s gathering you thought was the most impressive so far. Be sure to scroll down and read our exclusive interview with Travis C. who was at this year's Burning Man festival in 2019 (you'll find his photo down below, he's the one in the stunning pink dress).

So Burning Man is basically Comic-Con for the uber-wealthy? Although, some of the art exhibits are incredible.

Great use of 3D printing technique to achieve the layers on this fantastic sculpture.

How in the world does a 747 make it to the desert AND who has the $$$ to do this?

Ugh, this picture reminds me of the conversation we had last year about Burning Man - how many of the attendees are legit and how many are models that just dropped in for pix. Yes, I'm talking to you, lady with your butt sticking out.

It kinda looks like a real big room. I also like the bike stands.

That's Baba Yaga's house, designed by Jessi Sprocket Janusee and built at The Generator in Reno. She and the crew did an absolutely amazing job on it.

I like the reflective ball, but it looks like it's just, about, to fall over.

I can imagine with all that sand all over the place, it must be really hard to keep it out of your shoes.

Am I weird for worrying about the facial tan lines from the headpiece?

This is Burning Man, not a fashion shoot, Goddammit!This stuff was not created so you could stick your a*s out and impress your instagram fans! Sorry, had to get that out.

Does anyone else wonder why many of the women attending Burning Man are dressed in apocalyptic attire?

Here's my general comment about Burning Man, not necessarily specific to this photo ... Is there anyone that attends Burning Man with a body mass index over 25? (Here are the BMI guidelines: A BMI of less than 18.5 means that a person is underweight. A BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 is ideal. A BMI of between 25 and 29.9 is overweight. A BMI over 30 indicates obesity.)

After seeing all these pics, I was real disappointed that it appears that the Photographer was only interested in one particular thing. Took away from the Idea behind the Burning Man freedom. Get a different Photographer.

Nobody calls a standard vacation to Hawaii something for trust fund kids. Burning man is not that expensive when compared to normal trips people take all the time.

None of these people look like they're having fun... To be stuck in the desert with pretentious attention seekers would honestly be what purgatory would look like for me.
Sarah Taylor 7 years ago
Oh it's loads of fun. You just kind of ignore the silly people, as you would in any city. Or you can try talking to the silly people, becuase some of them are actually pretty cool humans. But in a city of 80,000 of course you're going to find people and things that aren't your cup of tea.

I could have done without the majority of the photos of "influencers" just standing in the desert looking like attention starved jackasses. Some of the art installations like the school bus converted into a neon lit space shuttler were cool.
