SL21B is now officially open! Second Life is celebrating its 21st birthday with our biggest celebration ever -- this year we have 77 regions filled with parties, live music, deejay performances, special events, exhibits, gifts, and shopping!

This year we've created a unique experience by connecting all adult regions into a 12-region mini-continent. This includes the adult exhibits, the fire stage, and the adult Shop & Hop regions, all seamlessly integrated for an immersive and cohesive adult-themed area.

Head on over to the SL21B Welcome Area and start your exploration now!

Join us today at 2pm PT to watch Patch Linden's opening speech with everyone live at the SL21B Aquatorium.

Here’s the rundown of some highlights from this year’s celebration:
