Here are Highlights & Important Links  Everything you experience in Black Rock City was imagined by its citizens, including YOU. Curious to learn how you can roll up your sleeves and build it? Last weekend 495 people, from first-timers to experienced Burners, joined the Burning Man 2026 Participation Fair to plug in and elevate their Burning Man experience. The Art department highlighted Black Rock City 2026 Honoraria art, and explained how to support an art project or bring your own artwork. Rising Sparks shared their mission to ignite next-generation participation. Connect with Rising Sparks to discover pathways for engaging with this vibrant community. Placement discussed how small- and medium-sized camps can make a big impact, and invited YOU to bring a camp to Black Rock City. Fair participants learned about the many opportunities to help build and run Black Rock City. Browse the volunteering page to find a team that fits your skill, interests, and curiosity. From there, it was time to choose your own adventure. Participants joined a breakout room or three, with discussions about everything from taking the Burner Express, to burning in your backyard.
