A forgotten song for Aruok

There was something different about the wind that day, a sweet whisper of rustled leaves, almost a song with familiar notes. Aruok could not remember it, it was less than a memory, like the elusive shadow of a dream lingering behind her eyes for just a heartbeat, before fading away. No, it was not the wind, it was a voice, a sweet choir of voices in a secret call, a summon, stirring her heart and filling her spirit with promise.

Invitation to Perform Fantasy Faire 2023

We have now opened applications to perform at Fantasy Faire 2023!

Dancers, Actors, Music & Magic Makers, come and join us at the Fantasy Faire 2023 to show off your talents at one of the biggest events of the SL year! Share your art with the Faire visitors and by doing so help raise funds for RFL.

The Faire will open this year on Thursday, April 20th and closes on Sunday, May 7th.

This year we are planning on filling the three Faire weekends with performances and having a calmer middle of week, instead of our usual week and half of full performances.

Hopefully, this will open room for more prime time performance space for all. During the weekends we aim to pack our program with a variety of acts performed during all hours of the day to accommodate our worldwide Faire Travelers.

Interested? Fill out the form on the link below:

Do pick as many dates as you find suitable/ possible for you to perform and we will try to distribute the time slots as evenly as possible between those interested.

The last day to sign up is February 26th and the sooner we have you on our list, the bigger your chance to get your preferred days and times.

For any further questions please message Aelva Resident, notecards if I am not online or responding, and I shall help you as best I can:)

Let the Magic Begin!

Join us for the the first ever Wafflies Ceremony!

Today, at 11am SLT, the first ever Wafflies will be presented for machinima created over the last two weeks in the Fairelands. The ceremony (and subsequent party) will take place in the Hall of the Golden Stag on Mythspire Ridge.

There are three categories:

Live-streaming
Factual
Fictional

And we think we will have a few surprises along the way!

Once the Wafflies have been awarded, we will have a post-Wafflies party, with DJ Aoife Lorefield, to celebrate FilmFest and LitFest!

A Grand Finale

Time has come for our final day of this years performance program at the Arts & Entertainment region.

It has been a fabulous Faire, we have seen so many performers grace the Sunken Honey stage with their extraordinary acts. We have had dance, theater, particle shows, immersive dance, a magician and much more. We hope you have enjoyed the fruits of our many talented performers hard work and we are every so thankful that you have lent us a moment of your time, that you have let us entertain, I am thankful to each and every one of you for making this Fantasy Faires performances such a wonderful part of the event.

I want to send a special Thank Ýou to my fantastic helpers, Exhi and Dreams, without whom I could not pull this off year after year. We have grown quite a bit from the 5 groups performing during one week. That is how small we started 8 years ago, when performances were still a new thing to the Fantasy Faire. I am forever in your dept ladies.
