HARMONY DAY ACTIVITY

BURNING MAN FESTIVAL The Burning Man Festival  is a  counterculture festival  held in Nevada's Black Rock Desert around the end of summer.  It is a week long annual event that brings in more than 50,000 people to create a temporary 1.5 square mile settlement  dedicated to community, art, self expression and self reliance. Participants show off different works of art, create temporary city, make friends and hangout together. At the end of the festival they depart the black rock city without leaving a trace whatsoever. The idea was initially conceived by  Larry Harvey   (Pictured left) in   1986 to honor the summer solstice,by burning an eight-foot, wooden human figure on Baker Beach   in San Francisco in front of a small crowd of about 20. T his globally popular event has thus taken it’s name from burning of a large wooden sculpture as part of the event. Every year Burning Man festival starts on last Monday of August and ends on first Monday of September. The burning man festival en
