SL Freebie Hunters: Moon Festival '16

Welcome!

Hi there and welcome to Freebie Hunters! One of our favorite pastimes in Second Life is scouting the grid for fantastic hunts, sales, events and gifts from all the wonderful creators. We thought we'd share the wealth and showcase some of our finds in this blog, with an emphasis on the goodies available in various SL events and hunts. We do our best to show ALL items from a hunt/event and in the manner the creator intended, but this is not always possible.

***UPDATE August, 2018- We are still finding freebie/nearly free items to share with you, but due to RL time constraints, a lot of what we find is being posted solely on Flickr. If you would like to follow the events being posted there, here is a link to the album page for our account: Flickr Albums. These are not blog posts, but simply pictures of the gifts available. Thank you!

Thank You to all of the creators!

Moon Festival 2016, pt.2

We're back with a second look at some of what you will find at the Moon Festival. The sim is gorgeous, the designers involved have created some amazing things to help celebrate the Festival, and the event only runs for 2 weeks, so it is definitely worth making time in your SL schedule to come down and check it out. Bring your friends, make it a family outing - it is the perfect way to segue into the Fall season and to lift your spirits as we get ready to jump into all the Halloween madness the end of the month brings to Second Life.

Event Information Dates:

October 1st through 14th

Location: Spirit Sim

Hope to see you there!
Cheers, Shadowed

Moon Festival 2016

For those of you who are seeking something a little different from the usual October spook event, have I got a treat for you! The Moon Festival 2016 event is starting October 1st at the Spirit sim. This is an Asian-themed event inspired by the Chinese Mid-Autumn Moon Festival offering an occasion for reunions with friends and families, celebration of the harvest season, a chance to eat mooncakes and go moon-gazing. The event coordinators have done a beautiful job putting together a gorgeous setting for the event - a big, beautiful moon filled sky overlooking a tranquil natural setting complete with gardens, a pier to fish from, a village setting filled with shops and stalls, a food court and game area, even larger homes for entire families to celebrate together.

So whether you like shopping or are just looking for a unique, charming place to wander and explore, this is an event you do not want to miss. I was fortunate enough to get a peek at some of what the designers who are participating in the Moon Festival have put out and there are some truly exquisite items available. Each store or stall has at least one item exclusive for the event. In addition to the normal shopping, there are food stands with all kinds of free goodies you can try as well as games throughout the village area which can be played for prizes.
