The Grand Tour of the Vintage and Associated sims is back! And it is happening this weekend – starting with a traditional German celebration in Neufreistadt, starting at 11:30 AM SLT on Saturday 20th June.
Saturday 20th June – 11:30am SLT: A Taste of Oktoberfest!
The Confederation of Democratic sims starts the party with A Taste of Oktoberfest! The Tiroler Eck Show Band Music will bring its mixture of Bavarian and Austrian schlager and traditional music. The band consists of 11 live musicians all playing together. Wear your lederhosen, dirndls or whatever you wish, but be ready to smile! You may find yourself dancing polka in the streets!
Neufreistadt “New Free State” is a typical medieval Bavarian village in a cloudy mountaintop. If the “fog” bothers you, touch ctrl, alt, shift and the minus sign, all together, and it will be turned off.
CDS celebrates its 5th year of Democracy in Sl this year and is proud to participate in the Grand Tour III.

Saturday 20th June – 1:30pm SLT: Ascot Ball in Victoriana
After the Germanic Oktoberfest, we move across the Channel for the event of the Grand Tour – the Ascot Ball in Victoriana!
Orchestra leader Benton Wunderlich was playing tunes from “My Fair Lady” on the piano; female guests were attired in the finest gowns and the most glorious hats, and everyone was nibbling on cucumber sandwiches and smoked salmon and sipping champagne.
No, it wasn’t a garden party in the country in merry old England. It was the Ascot Ball in Victoriana!
Held this year on Saturday June 20, at 1:30pm SLT, it is certain to be the social event of the season, it’s an event you won’t want to miss.
The Annual Victoriana Ascot Race will be held beginning at 2pm, so enter your favourite horse & jockey before the race.Entry fees are donated to RFL.
In addition, there will be fabulous auctions and the art exhibition Victoriana Views by Callipygian Christensen in the Town Hall.

Saturday 20th June – 3:00pm SLT: Winterfell Solstice Fire Dance
For the third event of the Grand Tour, the pace changes again, as we head to the mysterious haunted sim of Winterfell and the Winterfell Solstice Fire Dance!
Miss Serra, Senechelf of Winterfell invites you to join her and her residents for a traditional bonfire dance in the heart of WInterfell, Taure En Lor at 3pm SLT.
Winterfell is a dream fantasy region inspired by the magnificence of medieval castles and the romantic elegance of Victorian manors basking in the splendor of twilight, designed and inspired by stories, dreams and creative interpretations of reality.
This event will be medieval casual but you are invited to come as you are to enjoy some lively music and friendly company!

Saturday 20th June – 4:00pm SLT: Marzipan Tearoom Midsummer Ball
The theme for the Marzipan Teahouse Grand Tour Ball will be Midsummer Night, for pixie, faerie, sprite, woodland folk, and, of course, humans. It will have an open air feel, with a warm breeze full of the scent of summer flowers and a hint of peat. The music, by Radio Riel, will be all period music with a hint of the wild abandon of summer and merriment.
There will be dances in the garden, for the enjoyment of the warm summer night and gifts of summer flowers for the ladies’ hair and boutonnieres for the gentlemen.

Saturday 20th June – 6:00pm SLT: The Illusions – White Theme Ball
The Illusions White Themed Ball at Piermont Landing, Wheatstone Waterways will bring glitter and dazzle, beauty and illusion to New Babbage and the steamlands, beginning at 6pm on June 20.
But the main event will also (for two lucky bidders) mean the joy of victory and (for the rest of us) the agony of defeat as two one-of-a-kind items go up for auction to benefit Relay For Life.
Silent bidding began June 12 on both Ms. Kembri Thompson’s stunning Shepherdess Gown and Ms Canolli Capalini’s amazing Resignation Music Box and bidding will continue through Saturday at 9pm SLT, when the winners are announced.
We’ve got magic to do… just for you

Sunday 21st June – 6:00am SLT: Celebration of St. John’s Eve, Congo Square in New Toulouse
In the old city, they would gather in Congo Square, those dragged from their homes an ocean away. They would tell the old tales and dance the old dances. Miss Marie was there, in the shadows with her wisdom and her potions and her knowledge of the old ways, the voodoo. On St. John’s Eve, when the spirits were very close, they would dance the whole night long. Those who came to watch and jeer found themselves drawn into the dance, and their lives were never the same.
In New Toulouse of the 1920s, they say, some still gather on the shortest night of the year, down by the river. They come up from the bayous and down from the fancy houses because they know: on this night, the spirits are with them.
Join us, Grand Tourists. Come in the bright colors that please the spirits. Come with an open mind: come to watch, come to dance, come to remember how it was, back in the day…
