Imagine 10,000 people converging in the middle of a desert.
For a week long festival of anything goes.
It happenes once a year, simply called Burning Man.
Well, my name is Catherine and this is my first Burning Man festival.
It's just a chance for people to express their creativity and at least have some sort of outlet.
Everything from parked cars to the way that people dress to the way that people are talking with each other.
The art, the creativity that people have here.
It's amazing!
You're part of Burning Man, I'd have to say. It's just all the interaction and everything that goes on.
It's pretty much whatever you look for this great energy.
Now one surprising event you would not expect to see in the desert.
Was this anything goes fashion show.
The participants for this event are positively, certified over the edge.
My name is rock-hard Bob. I'm a moonship man.
I have these decorated cars, highly decorated automobiles.
This is my backyard. It's art display. It's freedom.
It's an open forum. And it's a live and let live attitude here.
Anything goes as long as you don't infringe on someone else.
Come expecting certain things and they find out it's different than what they preconceived notions.
It can be many different levels of different things happening.
So no one knows exactly what's going to happen.
What kind of people?
I'd like to think free spirits. All sorts of people.
Every everything you can think of her here.
Some people come out for just one day, for the final burn.
Some people are here two weeks before.
At this party you create your own entertainment.
I recommend every friend I have to come here.
I'm always, always promoting Burning Man.
I feel like we sort of take off arm are our costumes.
We take off our masks that we wear in the city, you know?
Burning Man is for everybody, except I think it can make the timid un-timid.
Every kind of creation imaginable exist, including this homemade airplane.
This one here flies at 22 miles per hour.
You're sitting in this little seat. It feels fine at 500 feet.
But at 2000 feet, that thing feels like a postage stamp.
It takes so long to come down from 2000 feet that if the wind changes while you're up,
you could be in a world of hurt before you'd ever get back down.
It's called relic vessel.
It's a sculpture of or a representation of an ancient wreck, sort of like a wreck of a spaceship.
And the theme this year at Burning Man is outerspace.
Culmination of Burning Man is the torching of the effigy of a man.
Which is way out there on the fire, lit up at night in neon.
And it goes up in flames and the head blows up and everyone dances,
and it gets wild and tanced out and goes completely nuts with drumming and dancing and song.
Just completely festive and purging and renewing, its Fabulous.
This is the final night at Burning Man.
An 8 storey effigy of a man is torched.
And revelers dance and cheer as this symbolically draws the curtain on this year's festival.
It's hard to believe that this gathering is taking place on a desert in the middle of nowhere.
You can't imagine the excitement, of 10000 people who have been camped out in the desert for seven days to see this fire burn.
