It’s time to get excited because Bay City will be celebrating it’s eleventh anniversary later this month on Sunday 19th May 2019. It’s hard to believe Bay City first opened back in May 2008 and it’s grown so much over the past eleven years in Second Life. The events have been amazing and always fun to participate in every year. If you have not participated in the annual anniversary celebrations before then I highly recommend it.
The annual parade starts at 12pm SLT at the band shell in Bay City – Harwich. The parade will then go down route 66 and will finish at the Bay City Fairgrounds in the North Channel region. There will be a live music concert taking place from 1.30pm SLT in the North Channel region. Everyone is welcome to attend! š

Ample viewing areas are provided. The music event is also open to all who desire to attend — not only Residents of Bay City
Bay City is a mainland community, developed by Linden Labā¢ and home to the Bay City Alliance. The Bay City Alliance was founded in 2008 to promote the Bay City regions of Second LifeĀ® and provide a venue for Bay City Residents and other interested parties to socialize and network. It is now the largest Bay city group, and home to most Residents of Bay City.

Reblogged this on Thar She Blows! and commented:
Oh wow, has yet another year passed already? They will again have a parade in Bay City, probably followed by a huge ball … and we are all invited!
Following Daniel’s advice I’m dutifully spreading the word. xoxoxo

The years are flying past so quick.
I just wish they would add something different every few years in terms of the anniversary events. It’s good fun though.
