The organizers of the popular Burning Man festival in Nevada have lifted a driving ban after heavy rain caused muddy conditions in the area, stranding thousands.
Attendees trying to leave theare now having to deal with a traffic jam of more than 7 hours on Tuesday morning, reports say.
"The driving ban has been lifted," said a message on a portion of the website titled"2023 Wet Playa Survival Guide." The annual gathering, which launched on a San Francisco beach in 1986, now attracts nearly 80,000 artists, musicians and activists to northern Nevada for a mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances. Disruptions are part of the event's recent history. Dust storms forced organizers to temporarily close entrances to the festival in 2018, and the event was twice canceled altogether during the pandemic.
