From Thursday, April 23 to Sunday May 10, treat yourself to shopping, dance and theater performances, DJ parties, auctions, questing, our Literary Festival, fantasy art, events and role-playing as thousands of Second Life residents and creators bring their own visions together to support the American Cancer Society\u2019s vision of a world without cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our formal programming will conclude with our One Team dance party marathon on Tuesday, May 5th, but now we invite you to join us for an additional week of shopping, questing, and exploring as the Fairelands will be open through Sunday, May 10th. That\u2019s a total of eighteen days of the Faire \u2013 and you never know when something unexpected might happen in that final week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, you\u2019ll find fantasy avatars, clothing, furnishings, gadgets and exclusive items available from almost 200 of Second Life\u2019s top Fantasy Creators across thirteen stunning regions designed by some of the visionary artists behind many of the hottest spots on the Second Life destination guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the thirteen shopping regions there will also be five Faireland realms that take us beyond commerce, from a Memorial Garden to the Fairelands Quest, the Literary Festival, Performance Stages, from Art Galleries to the Worldling Collection. These bring the Fairelands count for 2020 to eighteen regions, just waiting for you to explore them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fantasy Faire 2020 will be open to the public April 23 \u2013 May 10. The SLurl to the event will, as always, be found on the website on our opening day. We welcome you to come and join the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fantasy Faire 2020 is made possible by the generous support of our Region and Event Sponsors, all of whom you can learn more about on the Faire\u2019s website.
