When is Burning Man 2027?
Burning Man falls on Sunday, 29 August 2027. That is day 241 of 2027, inside ISO week 34, with 124 days left in the year after it. A temporary city built on the Black Rock Desert playa in Nevada and removed again at the end of the event.
It is marked chiefly in the United States, and it sits in the culture and festivals part of this catalogue. Because it runs for 9 days rather than one, a countdown to it has to pick an end to count to, and the one above counts to the opening day.
How is the date of Burning Man decided?
Runs the nine days ending on Labor Day, the first Monday in September, so it opens on the Sunday eight days before.
That matters for a countdown because a rule can be evaluated for any year, this one or one twenty years out, without waiting for an announcement. Every date on this page comes out of that rule rather than out of a list someone typed in, so nothing here can go stale when a year turns over. Where a date is set afresh each year instead, this catalogue leaves the event out rather than guess at it.
What day of the week is Burning Man on?
In 2027 it is a Sunday. Across the next 10 years Burning Man is always a Sunday, because the rule names the weekday before it names the date.
