Watch the Burning Man Live Stream

Every year, right before Labor Day, 50,000 peo­ple trav­el to Black Rock City, Neva­da to take part in Burn­ing Man — an exper­i­men­tal com­mu­ni­ty ded­i­cat­ed to rad­i­cal self reliance, rad­i­cal self-expres­sion and art. The 2016 edi­tion is under­way. And you can feel free to drop in any time. Above, watch a live stream of life on the dusty Playa. Hope­ful­ly things should get pret­ty inter­est­ing on Sat­ur­day night when they set fire to “the Man.”
