More About OSFest
Our Story Continues!
OSFest is an event focused on community, art, & self-expression. It is created entirely from talent in Virtual Worlds. The event is not aligned with any particular grid but welcomes people who agree to the Policies from all grids in the Hyperverse. Artists focusing on builds, unique item creation, Mesh intricacies, particles, and more come together with Merchants and Entertainers/Performers to create a blended festival of many talents.
Each year the festival is created, and when it ends it's all taken down only to be born anew the next year. This year promises to be full of wonderful things. Some perhaps, never seen yet in the OpenSimulator space. Join our discord, listen in, or get involved in the discussions. Make your mark, let your voice be heard, and share your talent with us all!

Previous Fests
Go back in time with us to previous fests to learn about our history and those who came before us. These are some of the images captured at the Opensim Fest 2020 event.
The 2020 Fest closed out with a bang on the special Chulak region, with Neytiri-Pyrovr Fireworks putting on one of her spectacular displays and Discovery Grid coordinating an aerial dogfight in time with the music and fireworks.
After the 2020 Fest came to a close, participants decided to create a permanent gathering region on OSGrid for fest alumni parties, and a gallery where visitors could find out about past festivals. Sadly the world took a turn for the worse as the pandemic spread, and the Gather region was dropped for health and financial reasons.
