LA & SF Halloween: Mayan Warrior - Halloween Costumes for Men
Mayan Warrior is probably one of the most well-known Art Cars from Burning Man. If you are on the dance music scene and haven't heard of Mayan Warrior, you are missing out on epic lighting, state of the art sound systems, and incredibly talented DJs. The car is a collaboration between Mexican artists and musicians to create one of the most memorable experiences both on and off the Playa.
If you peruse Mayan Warrior's LA ticket page, there's not too much information to glean for outfit inspiration. In fact, it's a week before the event and the location is still listed as TBD. Perhaps the mystery is purposeful - to let your imagination roam!
The Mayan Warrior Facebook page isn't much more help. Most of the photos are from Burning Man, where self expression and quirkiness are king and styles are as varied as the number of attendees.
However, if we take our cues from the art car itself, the name Mayan Warrior implies a tribal, jungle feel. The car's décor is vibrant, colorful and vivacious! The halloween costumes for men below fuse together styles and to create unique looks for your Halloween night out!
