Consequently, revelers went in droves to the venue’s longstanding coffee shop, the Center Camp Café, to get their fill – during a festival, revelers sometimes overcharge each other for basics like as water, especially in an isolated region with few other drinking alternatives.
This past week, celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Cara Delevigne were seen among the festival’s customary attendance.
The theme of this year’s event, which organizers have described as a “temporary city committed to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance,” is “Waking Dreams,” which aptly captures the festival’s otherworldly spirit.
“After a long foggy haze of pandemic insomnia, adrift between sleeping and awake, it’s time to start picturing the future anew,” as stated by the organizers.
The week-long celebrations started on Sunday morning in a seven square mile improvised encampment housing the festival, where $575-paying free-spirited folks may enjoy a variety of activities ranging from the commonplace to the extreme.
