Second Life is thriving with vibrant events! Here are tips on how to find events you're interested in.
 
== Destination Guide Featured Events ==
 
The [http://secondlife.com/destinations Destination Guide] showcases an ever-growing collection of amazing Second Life places, both submitted by Residents and hand-picked by the Editorial Team. Suitably, major events with broad appeal get a category of their own, and this is a quick, convenient way to get some highlights.
 
More:
* Learn about the [[Destination Guide]]
* See [http://secondlife.com/destinations/events Destination Guide Featured Events]
 
You can also brows the Destination Guide from the Viewer's FIND window:
 
# In the search bar (upper-right), click the magnifying glass.
# Click the '''Destination Guide''' tab.
# Click the '''All''' dropdown (next to '''Category''') and choose '''Featured Events'''.
 
This video shows you how to get to the Destination Guide and the Community: Events page:

== [http://secondlife.com/community/events/ Community: Events page] ==
 
This is the general events listing. As expected, it tends to be crowded, but try it and see if you discover something of interest. There's also a [http://search.secondlife.com/web/search/events/ searchable alternate view].
 
Like the Destination Guide, the general events listing can also be browsed in the Viewer's FIND window, under the '''Events''' tab.

== Resident-run websites ==
 
There are many Resident-owned blogs that cater to specific community groups and niche interests. For example, fashion blogs that report on events organized by participating stores. It's worth checking creators you're already a fan of to see if they have a news feed of upcoming events.
 
Here are some specific examples:
 
* '''[http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/events/ Chestnau Rau's Choices on New World Notes]'''
* '''[http://profileslive.com/secondlifeevents.asp ProfileSLive.com's Second Life Events Calendar]'''
* '''[http://tinyurl.com/sltrivia Virtual World Trivia]'''
 
== Manual methods ==
 
'''A mass of green dots on the {{win|World Map}} window (sometimes likened to as "a stack of poker chips") means many avatars are in one spot.''' Often, this can mean there's a hot event — it could be a formal happening or a spontaneous gathering of friends — and you can easily find out by double-clicking the map location to teleport. The downside: sometimes, it's just "artificial traffic" like a [[bot]] or camping chairs (Residents get paid a small amount of L$ to sit in a place a long time).
