Over the weekend, 70,000 people known as "burners" will descend on a remote swath of desert in Black Rock City, Nevada to dance, sweat, and find themselves at the 2017 Burning Man festival. Attendees will be treated to surreal art installations, workshops, and all-night parties.
Devotees of the decades-old festival have taken the free-spirited philosophy of Burning Man to their own countries and launched affiliated events where the same principles endure. Photos of these gatherings show they're more or less the same, despite being thousands of miles apart.
Let's take a closer look at three regional Burning Man festivals in the world.
