The iconic Burning Man Project which was set to return to the Northern Nevada’s Black Rock Desert in the coming months has been officially canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Every year about 80,000 people gather to co-create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to art and community. Burning Man Project joins the lists of other major events such as Ultra, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury that have had to be canceled or postponed because of the pandemic.

Following this announcement, the organizers have offered a refund to those who purchased “early bird” tickets. The annual arts and music festival will keep its spirit alive with a massive virtual gathering which is expected to more than 80,000 participants from across the globe. The 2020 theme for the project which was “The Multiverse”, will be hosted virtually bringing people together. Everyone is invited to the Virtual Black Rock City 2020!
