It’s not exactly the same, but Burning Man comes pretty close in a lot of ways.

If you haven’t been, there are thousands of art projects at a grand scale, things that take up blocks of space a piece, and they are built by artists from around the world, giving everyone a global perspective of what is possible.

I also love the idea of showcasing what is possible for a society. There is a true sense of community, immediacy, and collaboration where everyone there is an active participant.

There are dozens of smaller events with similar properties, likely one nearby.
