This week, the 2026 journey to Black Rock City began for so many people around the world. Ticket sales are underway, and we just announced the 2026 Temple design and artist. We couldn’t be more excited to begin building BRC with you.
We are aware of the heightened conversation online about Kimbal Musk. Upon his term as a member of Burning Man Project’s Board of Directors concluding in January 2026, he chose not to renew based on other commitments and priorities. That conversation and his decision took place well before the recent information release and news cycle. We appreciate Kimbal’s participation and support as a community member across many forms of engagement.
Burning Man exists to bring people together. As was captured in my op ed that was recently published in the Reno Gazette Journal, we are a culture of human connection, participation and belonging.
Together, we can shepherd more Burning Man, awe, and joy into the world, which is good for all humanity. Burning Man endures because together with the community we create spaces for creativity — especially in moments when the world feels polarized.
