The 2020 Burning Man Festival is officially canceled. “After much listening, discussion, and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision not to build Black Rock City in 2020,” CEO Marian Goodell explained. “Given the painful reality of COVID-19, one of the greatest global challenges of our lifetimes, we believe this is the right thing to do. Yes, we are heartbroken. We know you are too. In 2020 we need human connection and Immediacy more than ever, but public health and the well-being of our participants, staff, and neighbors in Nevada are our highest priorities.” The festival will continue in a virtual format called “The Multiverse.”
