We begin OSFest on Oct 12, 2025 thru Oct 27, 2025 and we will have some events on the OSFest grid as always, BUT this year anyone can host events on home grids too via our new Event Calendar designed for the Hypergrid Community!

We hope to see some events booked on other grids added to the OSFest calendar so we can have a true HG celebration. Simple to register and book events in your timezone at https://osfest.infinitemetaverse.net/ No need to wait on anyone to approve you to book slots marked HG or Tour. Slots are starting to get booked by others, so if you haven't booked slots for events on your home grid, now is the time!! This goes for singers, musicians, DJs, parties, presentations, games, and more! Help us help you get found on the HG!

There are also free parcels and stores available on OSFest grid - HG to grid.opensimfest.com:8022:OSF_N_Expo or the stores nearby then find a parcel with a black sign that says Available, touch it, see it change to your avatar name, then rez without waiting for us!

If you want to perform, read, present, do fireworks, burns, or light shows, or even run game nights, request a role change from the event calendar menu. Not sure what role? See About OSFest on the menu for venue types and roles. See you there!! @followers @everyone OpensimFest

The Annual Hypergrid Community Celebration that began as AvatarFest, became OpenSimFest, and is now #OSFest2025, is a 3D virtual festival where anyone from any OpenSimulator grid can participate from any timezone! Starting this year, you can now host OSFest events on your home grid or, as always, get a free exhibit or store parcel on the OSFest grid. Artists, creators, builders, merchants, educators, developers, grid owners, performers, and hosts - you can showcase whatever, celebrate however, or host wherever you want. Help others find you on the Hypergrid by being a part of the celebration - virtually together.

For #OSFest2025, rather than a specific theme, since anyone can now participate whether on their home grids or the OSFest grid, take a look at this year's logo created by Banker Ibor. Themes that come to mind are Celebration, Culture, Fantasy, SciFi, Space, Avatars, Fashion, Shopping, Holidays, Hypergrid, and more. Whatever theme you see in the logo is your theme - be inspired!

Register at https://osfest.infinitemetaverse.net/ on the #OSFest2025 Event Calendar, request a role change from the menu if needed, book your slot, then share! You can always edit the name or description, include links, or change the image - even 360 images taken with a viewer.

#OSFest2024 had the most diverse group of performers yet! They shared their talents on three stages over the course of 17 days from: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America, and Venezuela.

@everyone #OSFest2024 BURN Party!
It's day 17 filled with powerhouse performers counting down to the BURN. What is it? In the style of Burning Man, at the Closing BURN Party we have 8 hours of non-stop performances then gather in the Event and Burn regions for two hours of fun in-world "burns" backed by great music. We "burn it all down" so we are ready to start anew next year. Spread the word!

Thanks everyone for a successful load test today! Despite active stress testing, the region server was steady with no crashes. During stress tests, users experienced lag which stabilized once the testing was stopped. For those interested in the stats: 3 hours, 35 unique avatars, max CCU 21, from 10 HG enabled grids. Logs not reviewed yet but the grid appears ready! Some visitors were checking out the exhibits and stores in work during the music portion. Free exhibit and store parcels are available! Simply HG over, find available parcels, touch the parcel sign to get the parcel then start building or bringing in what you want to show and tell! It's your HG "extended friends and family" reunion thanks to sponsors. The volunteers make it all happen each year. Join the fun!

It's not too late to participate in OSFest 2024 where free land is available for exhibits and stores. The festival runs from Oct 4-20, 2024 but we have a load test party on Sept 20, 2024 from 10am to 1 pm. Staff will be on hand as Rogue and Thalion rock the house. Join us!
