Burning Man revelers DISAPPOINTED big time after heavy rain douses the flames

  • last year
Muddy waters and slippery ground aren't typically associated with 'Burning Man,' but isn't 2023 full of surprises?

In this comical yet concerning video, Alexia Dias offers viewers a glimpse of Black Rock City, which had been drenched by colossal rainfall the night before, completely spoiling the annual Burning Man festival for revelers.

Alexia struggles to maintain her balance on the slippery mud, which was supposed to be a dry desert floor for people to dance, run, and whatnot!

"I reached Black Rock City on Thursday and was having a blast; it was amazing with all the lights at night, all these people partying," the filmer told WooGlobe. "And then on Friday, it started to rain, and it rained a LOT!

"This video provides a small sample of how it was outside of the camp. It was super slippery, and we could barely walk."
