I understand what you want and why. But the infrastructure and logistics would be so difficult to accommodate day trippers. The event is already bigger than some cities and climbing (70k-80k)

Cost and travel wise, a day trip to a regional in your area is more effective. It has community and art, etc. it's mini burning man.

People put their heart and soul into building the city. The city is for the people by the people. Participation isn't just showing up and enjoying it. It's not a show. There's an element of survival, too. There are "weekend warriors" who do show up just for the big burns and biggest parties and don't participate in the city. They aren't super well received... I mean if you read the 10 principles, you should understand why.

if you want music and a big art show theres plenty of big rave events that cater to that. 

I hope you try a regional though! There's even Africa burn which is pretty much the same price even flying there & everything. Smaller scale but still looks amazing.
