The OpenSim Worlds Fair is set to launch on March 1, 2025, and will celebrate innovation, creativity, art, technology, fashion, and education in OpenSim.
This event, a year in the making, will unite the OpenSim community under one roof, showcasing the talents and achievements that define our world.
With nearly two decades of immersive experience in virtual worlds, the organizers, Cooper Swizzle, Koshari Mahana, Kimm Starr, and entertainment coordinator Rosa Alekseev, are passionate about elevating events throughout the hypergrid. Their dedication to fostering creativity and innovation ensures that this fair will be a memorable experience for all attendees, showcasing the best of what the hypergrid has to offer.
While the organizers are affiliated with the Kitely grid, owned by Ilan Tochner, they actively participate in numerous events throughout the hypergrid. The fair will unfold in Wolf Territories, owned by Lone Wolf, and is designed to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and interests within the virtual community.
The OpenSim Worlds Fair will feature at least 17 themed stages, showcasing a variety of genres including rock and roll, Motown, Latin, and retro. This diverse selection of stages is designed to keep attendees entertained while they party and connect with others, with each theme curated to align with the performers and DJs. A special acknowledgment goes to Rosa Alekseev for her tireless dedication and exceptional efforts in organizing the entertainment for the fair.
Offering 72 parcels for exhibitors, we still have a few spaces available for those eager to showcase their work, talents, and creativity at this event. While full region-sized parcels are now gone, we have smaller parcels ready for participants looking to make their mark.
A handful of free exhibition spaces remain, providing a platform to share your vision and innovation. This is your chance to be part of a celebration that champions progress and fosters cultural exchange across the hypergrid.
