According to the official Burning Man social media accounts the festival will be closed until Tuesday, August 26th, due to weather. Torrential downpour and thunderstorms have plagued the festival grounds, but curators are hoping that these unfortunate storms pass. They’ve employed law enforcement officers to turn away vehicles as the Playa is currently an unsafe location for festival attendees.
We’ll be sure to update you when more information is available.
If you’re in Reno, please stay there until we let you know the Gate has reopened.
