The festival is located in the center of the desert, so the circumstances are not exactly luxury. Guests with special requests like diet or medicine should plan for themselves. Often people engage in trading for special products but some trades are illegal.

Yearly Tradition

Back in 1986, Larry Harvey did a symbolic act when he built a 9-foot sculpture out of wood and lit it on fire on the beach in San Francisco. This was the start of a summer ritual with him and his group of friends. Each year more people were added and led him to increase the size of the sculpture. The following year 6 inches were added, and by 1988, it was nearly three times as tall.
