Create Your Mini Burning Man Festival!

Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather to create Black Rock City in Nevada's Black Rock Desert; dedicated to community, art, self-expression and self-reliance. They depart one week later having left no trace whatsoever.

The celebration of Burning Man's annual fire ceremony began in 1986, created by Larry Harvey and Jerry James. For the next four years, its annual fire party was held at Baker Beach in San Francisco.

Over the decades this wee little fire burning ceremony has become a symbolic refuge for hundreds of thousands of people who trek in from all over the world each year to participate. Perhaps you just couldn't squeeze yet one more vacation in this year. Perhaps you've got visiting relatives and can't leave the homestead. What's a home owner to do?

Create your own little bit of backyard ceremony with these personal sized burning stones. After all, fire is fire whether you're burning a stone or a stick man. Dance around your little fire. Sing songs. Roast marshmallows. Tell ghost stories. Do anything you want...just so long as it's of a celebratory nature. After all...summer is flying by and you don't want to miss out on all the fun!
