Tha Fantasy Faire Is Open



At last, after the weeks and perhaps months of getting ready, and the equally long anticipation by fans, the Fantasy Faire, the 15th this year, is finally open.


Welcome one and all to the 2023 Fairelands! It has been a long time since we have all been together, and it feels so good to be home! The doors are now open. For the next 18 days we will live, love and celebrate in the company of friends and family. As you start your explorations, be sure to turn up the volume on Fantasy Faire Radio and listen to the musical introduction to this year's worlds.


There is a LOT to see, with twenty sims that are beautifully done with numerous spots to explore. And there's just as much to do, with the Littlefest Tours, the music events such as the parties on the Fairchylde, the Literary Festival, the Children's Roleplay, the Masked Ball, the Jail and Bail events (Patch Linden will likely be in one), the Fairelands Quest ("The Quest hasn't started yet" Fairelanders sometimes musingly tell one another), and of course lots of shopping, the stores cleverly worked into the landscapes and buildings, a portion of the money going to the Relay for Life (for some items, all of it).


Have fun at the Fare, but don't delay for too long. The events end on Sunday May 7. The sims will likely remain up for a few more days, but just how long is uncertain.

Scenes From The SL16B



Late Saturday night, or was it early Sunday morning, DJ Grease was playing to the crowd at the Spin Masters stage at SL16B Beguile (123/5/30). There's been a lot of music, but according to the calendar of events, Sunday will be the last full day for music events. After today, the next events on the schedule are two on Friday, notably a five hour "thank you" party.


But the exhibits should still be up until July 8. And there are plenty to see such as the "Fantasy Faire Litfest/50's Mashup - A Troll in Narnia." This exhibit is a tribute to fantasy stories written and published in the 1950s, such as "The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe," which was published in October 1950. It would be followed by six more books, making up "The Chronicles of Narnia."

The Fairelands are vast, with so much to see! Venture forth with confidence along with the Faire Folk, as they ride out from the LitFest home base daily, exploring a new region each day. Don’t forget to add pencils and paper to your travel bag, as you may feel the urge to write a story for our Tours and Regions Writing Challenge.

A detailed Literary Festival Calendar of Events at the Fantasy Faire website will help you plan your visits and choose your activities. And you can keep the spirit of the Faire alive, even when you have returned home. Fantasy Faire Radio provides you with music, news and other Fantasy Faire information, wherever you are.

All Seanchai session at The Faire will take place at the Faire's LitFest home region of Trollhaugen, in the Trollmoth event space.
