Rock City

The famous festival, which also draws millionaires and tech executives, was also the site of a surprise birth after a woman, who said she was unaware she was pregnant, delivered a baby Wednesday at Black Rock City on the Playa.

“If you are in Black Rock City, do not interfere with law enforcement activity,” the festival said in a statement.

Burning Man draws tens of thousands of attendees to Black Rock City - which the organisers describe as "a temporary metropolis" put up in the desert annually to host the festival, which this year ends on Monday.

After decades of debauchery and an untold number of conceptions, revelers at Burning Man celebrated a rare birth at Black Rock City on Wednesday morning, after a festivalgoer unexpectedly went into labor on the Playa.

The ferocious dust storm around the event’s temporary Black Rock City forced organizers to shutter the event’s gates and its nearby airport as the weather service warned of a “wall of blowing dust.”
