Burning Man’s Orgy Dome Destroyed by Wind Storm in the Nevada Desert [WATCH]

One of Burning Man’s most recognizable fixtures, the so-called “Orgy Dome,” was destroyed this week after powerful winds ripped through Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.

The collapse comes just days before the close of the annual festival, which runs through September 1.

The structure, a large air-conditioned tent filled with beds, has served for years as a designated space for consenting festivalgoers over the age of 18.

Organizers confirmed the collapse in a statement on social media, saying their build team had spent the week preparing the site before the storm undid their efforts.

“Our build team worked so hard this past week to erect our lovely space. Unfortunately, the winds yesterday undid all that labor and wrecked our structure. We are still here and thankfully safe, we hope to gift the playa some workshops and will keep you updated,” the message read.

The Orgy Dome was established in 2003 as part of a broader camp that promotes a “sex-positive” lifestyle.

Alongside the main dome, the 150-person site also includes an area called Aphrodite’s Garden, described as a meet-and-greet space for those considering participation.

Video footage posted online showed the collapsed structure in the aftermath of the storm, with organizers confirming that no injuries were reported.

While the main facility was destroyed, the group indicated they would continue offering smaller events and workshops during the remainder of the festival.

Burning Man, held annually in the Black Rock Desert since 1986, is known for large-scale art installations, themed camps, and alternative cultural practices.

Temporary structures are a key feature of the event, with participants building and dismantling installations each year.

The harsh desert climate often creates challenges, with sudden storms occasionally damaging or destroying parts of the temporary city.

This year’s festival has drawn tens of thousands of attendees from around the world.

While the loss of the Orgy Dome represents a significant disruption for the camp that manages it, organizers say they remain committed to providing programming in line with their community’s theme.

Past editions of Burning Man have faced similar setbacks, including heavy rain and strong winds that have left parts of Black Rock City flooded or inaccessible.

Event organizers emphasize that all participants are expected to prepare for the desert’s extreme conditions, which can include triple-digit temperatures, dust storms, and sudden high winds.

Despite the collapse of one of its well-known features, Burning Man is proceeding as scheduled.

Camps and installations continue to operate, with the festival’s signature events — including large-scale art burns — still planned for the final days leading up to September 1.
