Free Spirit Festival

Grab your tie-dye shirt and your hippie pants and get ready to feel the groove because the Free Spirit Festival is back, spreading its bohemian vibes across the digital realm of There.com! From April 14th to the 20th, we invite you to join us in a virtual celebration of music, peace, and the enduring spirit of RedStormRizing.

For years, the Free Spirit Festival has been a beacon of harmony and celebration of music, drawing kindred souls from all corners of There.com. This year the celebration honors the festival founder and creator, RedStormRizing. The RedWalk Cove neighborhood and the Thereian community will come together during the festival to honor the memory of RedStormRizing and her legendary virtual neighborhood creation, RedWalk Cove.

Nestled off the coast of Comet on a private island, RedWalk Cove is a testament to creativity and harmony, where every nook and cranny whispers of its creator’s boundless imagination. RedStormRizing built the small island community around a secret cove surrounded by sandy shores and grassy high ridges overlooking the ocean. There are over 40 unique builds scattered throughout the island community of RedWalk Cove. It takes a few hours just to thoroughly explore and visit every unique location.

As you wander through the lush landscapes RedStormRizing crafted – with waterfalls cascading into crystal-clear ponds, vibrant flowers swaying in the breeze, and whimsical houses tucked amid the greenery – you’ll discover her unmistakable touch, often accompanied by the playful presence of the abomination known as Keith scattered throughout. The mystical creature escaped the Circus of Doctor Seven and invaded the island of RedWalk Cove. Keith adapted to the terrain and weather rather quickly and soon multiplied.

RedStormRizing was more than just a builder; she was a maestro of melodies and a champion of sharing her passion for music by bringing the community together at events. Music permeated every corner of RedWalk Cove, infusing it with a rhythm and energy unlike any other.

Join us as we pay homage to RedStormRizing’s legacy during the Free Spirit Festival, where music will flow like a gentle stream and peace will reign supreme. Let’s come together in the virtual embrace of RedWalk Cove, united by our love for music, our reverence for creativity, and our shared desire to spread joy and harmony wherever we roam in the virtual world of There.

The Free Spirit Festival in There.com is gearing up to be an unforgettable experience, running from April 14th through the 20th. With a lineup packed full of fun and excitement, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Here’s just a taste of what you can expect:
