SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ten thousand more people are expected to be on hand in the Nevada desert for this year’s Burning Man festival after federal officials increased the event’s attendance cap.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management issued a special recreation permit to San Francisco-based Black Rock City LLC, the nonprofit group behind Burning Man. The permit allows 60,900 people to attend the arts festival, up from 50,000 last year. Officials announced the increase Tuesday.
