Linden Lab’s virtual world Second Life is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a range of events, both in and out of the game. The festivities include an in-game concert which was held this past weekend, a Shop 'N Hop event for player-made cosmetic purchases, developer panels, and free giveaways. Players also have the chance to win various prizes such as a Chevy Bolt EV car, a one-year free subscription, and a high-end PC.

To commemorate the occasion, an SL20B guide is available for download, providing details and locations of ongoing anniversary events. The destination page for the 20th anniversary features in-game concert stages, a garden for panels, galleries, an interactive exhibit, and the Linden Bear Island where players can join the celebration.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, videographer Draxtor Despres has created a special video called "Made in Second Life: The Movie." Originally intended as a short showcase, the video evolved into a 45-minute-long documentary featuring archival footage, new material, and rare content from the history of Second Life.

With a variety of activities and special events, Second Life enthusiasts have numerous opportunities to engage in the celebration and reminisce about the virtual world's two decades of existence. Whether participating in concerts, exploring exhibits, or watching the documentary, players can immerse themselves in the rich history and vibrant community of the popular virtual world.
