Burning Man Sets Attendance Record


More than 50,000 revelers are gathered on the northern Nevada desert this weekend for the climax of the annual Burning Man counterculture festival.

A record 53,341 people attended the Friday night burning of a 50-feet tall Trojan Horse. The annual celebration of radical self-expression reached its usual climax late Saturday night with the torching of its a 120' tall effigy which covers more than 45,000 square feet (left).

No major problems have been reported at the weeklong art, music and performance festival which ends on Monday.
