Over the last 31 years, Burning Man has evolved from a bonfire among friends in San Francisco to an international mega-event attended by modern-day hippies and tech moguls alike.
Nearly 70,000 so-called burners descended on the “playa” in a Nevada desert last week for the annual counterculture gathering. The festival is offering its standard fare of surreal art installations, over 130 musical acts, celebrity sightings, and out-of-this-world fashion.
Some say you have to experience the world of Burning Man to understand its magic. In the meantime, these photos of Burning Man 2017 offer a glimpse of what it’s like to attend.SEE ALSO: Photos of tech workers having the time of their lives at Burning Man
Each year, a city rises on a remote swath of desert in Nevada. Burners call this temporary metropolis “Black Rock City.”

The festival forms in the same shape every year: a giant semi-circle.
Nearly 70,000 people, known as “burners,” come for the nine-day event.
