Alternatives To The Burning Man Festival

If you’re dying to attend a massive outdoor freakfest like Burning Man, but you don’t live in the U.S., you hate the desert, or you simply can’t get tickets to that exclusive desert oasis then it’s time to get off the Burning bandwagon and discover eleven lesser known alternative festivals.
From Burning Man’s African cousin AfrikaBurn, which has been taking place every year in the Tankwa Karoo National Park in South Africa since 2007, to the surreal Electric Forest festival which takes place in the forests of Rothbury, Michigan each year, to the extremely eclectic Rainbow Serpent festival in Australia, there are plenty of alternatives to the once underground Burning Man festival if you’re willing to travel light and let your freak flag fly.
