Burning Man 2023 took place from August 27 to September 4, 2023. The event lasted for nine days in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, with an estimated attendance of around 73,000 people. The 2023 event faced notable disruptions due to heavy rains and flooding, which caused gate closures and stranded many attendees toward the event's conclusion. Despite weather challenges, the event featured its usual large-scale art, community gatherings, and the traditional burning of the wooden effigy known as "the Man".
