Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:04:43 GMT

An unusual late-summer storm turned a week-long counterculture fest into a sloppy mess with tens of thousands of partygoers stuck in foot-deep mud and with no working toilets in the northern Nevada desert. But some Burning Man revelers said Sunday that their spirits remained unbroken.Organizers closed the festival to vehicles after one death was reported. Officials provided no details of the fatality.The annual gathering in the Black Rock Desert about 110 miles (177 kilometers) north of Reno attracts nearly 80,000 artists, musicians and activists for a mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances. Disruptions are part of the event's recent history: Organizers had to temporarily close entrances to the festival in 2018 due to dust storms, and the event was twice canceled altogether during the pandemic. More than a half an inch (1.3 centimeters) of rain fell at the festival site on Friday, disrupting this year's festival.“We are a little bit dir...

Ah, Italy. The word alone evokes images of smiling locals, sun-dappled hills and sumptuous ruins that echo with eternal splendor.

He probably should have picked a region other t...
