Burning Man is a yearly festival held in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. The last event held in 2019 before Covid, drew an estimated 80,000 people. Burning Man has several regional chapters scattered around the world. Though touted as a free expression community art event, the links below show it to be otherwise.
It is held during the summer solstice and culiminates in the burning of a large 40 foot tall wooden man.
A regional version of this event called 'Saguaro Man' is planning to move to Willcox. The main burning man event is held in the middle of nowhere in the desert of Nevada but 'Saguaro Man' would be held in the middle of a residential area off of Kansas Settlement Road. We don't believe that this is the right location for such an event for the reasons detailed below. If you agree please let your voice be heard and consider signing the petition.
The organizers, AZ Burners, have purchased 80 acres in Willcox AZ off of Kansas Settlement Road. They plan to make this their permanent home.
We don't believe that Willcox is the right location for this event. Especially not in the middle of a residential area. We don't need to bring these unnecessary fire dangers to our community.
If you don't support this event moving here, please make your voice heard! We must take action and we must do it NOW!
