Connections to Burning Man
It may come as a surprise, but Burning Man isn’t the only similar festival you can find in other locations. Some countries, such as New Zealand, Australia, and China, commemorate the burning of the Man with annual festivals. For those East Coast Burners who can’t make the trip out to Big Rock Desert, there are plenty of alternatives closer to home in New England. Even while not all of them have any official connection to the original Burning Man, they all share many of the same values and norms.
Principles for Living in Big Rock County
Lee Harvey, one of the group’s original members, established 10 ground rules to establish some semblance of order during this massive extraterrestrial convention. The 10 principles are like a collection of values the organisers agreed upon, and they serve as a reminder to the community’s ethos and the spirit of Burning Man.
