Should be Aug 24

[mdmf007]

Burningman always ends on the first Monday in September also known as Labor day. Sep 7, 2015 is labor day and the first Monday. Its a late year.
So Burningman 2015 will be - Sunday, August 31 through Monday, Sep 7, 2015. Unless the BMORG adjusts for being so late in September, which they did not do in 2009.

Burningman ended Monday, September 1, 2014 (Labor Day)
Burningman ended Monday, September 2, 2013 (Labor Day)
Burningman ended Monday, September 3, 2012 (Labor Day)
Burningman ended Monday, September 5, 2011 (Labor Day)
Burningman ended Monday, September 6, 2010 (Labor Day)
Burningman ended Monday, September 7, 2009 (Labor Day)
Burningman ended Monday, September 1, 2008 (Labor Day)

great seemed it was gonna be later .... is there an official page for dates

Let me give this a try.

Burning Man officially starts at midnight. Entry is traditionally starting on Monday. As others stated, it always ends on Labor Day.
The official dates printed on your ticket should show:

Monday, August 31, 2015-to-Monday, September 7, 2015.

Things may change, but this is my best guess at this time.

I'm giving this a nudge to the Q&A board, since that's a better fit for general Q&A about the event.

What others said about dates (it's labor day weekend-centric), though official announcements and postings have not yet been made on the burningman.com site. That typically happens along with the announcement of event ticketing and/or art theme.

I checked with that depository of a reasonable chance of accuracy, wikipedia, and it turns out that American Labor Day is the same as Canadian Labour Day. (We rushed something through in imitation of Canada to avoid giving too much power to Haymarket.) So, it should be easy to track and predict dates. And remember, if you've worn it on the playa, you can keep wearing it long into September, October and beyond--because it's no longer white.
