5 Things to Do at Burning Man

So you have heard all of the amazing stories about the event and now you are thinking of going. Or you've seen the photos and you were out there all week yet you wonder where the 40' woman came from or how you could have missed an entire movie theater. Well here is a list of things you can do when you are at Burning Man.

1: Take a day and a night to see the art. Each year there are many wonderful pieces of art spread around the Playa. Some pieces are made for night viewing and interaction while others are more of the day time variety. I'd suggest you do this tour sober and on a bike, but it's your burn so do it how ever you want.

2: Go to the dance camps. There are both day and night dance camps. I'm a fan of District by day and Root Society by night but I'd say try out a few and see where you feel is best suited for your style.

3: Volunteer. That's right take time and give back to the burn. There are plenty of opportunities from Greeters to Lamp Lighters and so much more.

4: Go make some new friends. Oh I am sure the group you came with (or plan on going with) will be amazing but at the Burn you have the opportunity to meet interesting people from around the globe. Even more interesting, most of them actually want to meet other people and have a great time. Find a new best friend, a lover, a pet or maybe a partner in crime.

5: Get on an art car. Actually I'd suggest riding as many as you can but at least take a moment to ride one. The owners are generally pretty awesome and love to tell you about them and ride you around (assuming they have room).

Sure there are hundreds of things to get out there and experience, but to make a comprehensive and complete list would defeat one of the greatest things about the Burn. It's about you finding your way around. So this coming year get out there and experience YOUR Burn in YOUR way.
