Colors of Nevada - traditions, festivals, mentality and lifestyle

The rich cultural calendar of state doesn’t match with its arid landscape. Every year, grandiose festivals, which are well known to tourists from all over the world, take place in these desert places. The permanent venue for one of the most colorful festivals is the Black Rock Desert; here is a festival of radical self-expression called Burning Man. This ultra-modern holiday is annually visited by about 50 thousand people from many different countries. They come to a lifeless desert for a week to tell the world about themselves and to find like-minded people.

Burning Man Festival is a great opportunity to showcase talents to society, as well as to assess the achievements of others. Burning Man Festival differs much from other activities. It doesn’t have any official program and all participants of the event literally fend for themselves. However, the holiday has its unchanging character - a huge figure of a man. Festival participants aren’t limited in means of expression. The only condition for all guests of the festival is not to disturb others.

Participants have themed workshops and create incredible design layouts and amazing art installation. Curious musical performances also remain a fairly common way of expression; music is heard everywhere around the clock. Incredible futuristic concepts of alien machines, original outfits of participants and hot sun - these are main characters of the world famous festival. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Those who decide to go for a ‘desert holiday’ have to consider that all stuff (including food and drinking water) should be taken by participants; no additional service is provided at the festival. Travelers who are used to rest in a more civilized way would find interesting to visit the Scottish festival, which is held annually in the Lamb Park. This is an exciting holiday that includes a lot of cultural, gastronomic and leisure activities. In the immediate vicinity of Las Vegas the Festival of pomegranates is held; it is also a great way to make holidays special.
