Hopefest 2021

It's time for Hopefest 2021 – a charity event in support of the American Cancer Society/Relay For Life. Fenella of the Gazette spoke to Nuala Maracas – Coordinator of Hopefest – this week, who said;

I am very excited about the Hope Fest Belliseria Community region at the 1st Annual Hope Fest in support of the American Cancer Society. Hopefest Bellisseria has 5 days of events planned June 9 - 13. Everything from live music, DJ's and tribute bands to shopping on the boardwalk, including a special Slenderman Bear and of course our Linden Block Party Day.

The Lindens and Moles have a special Neighborhood Block Party on Friday, June 11 from 12pm - 3pm SLT. Chef Patch will be cooking up the burgers and, for a donation at the American Cancer Society Hope Fest kiosk, he will be taking pictures with the neighbors while he cooks ! We also have over a dozen Moles who will be in the neighborhood for the Hug-A-Mole pictures in front of each house, again for a donation to the kiosk. 

We also have the 2nd ever Animesh Linden Bear available in the Hope Fest vendors. The special Hope Fest Linden Bear and Linden Hope Fest coffee mugs are only available during Hope Fest.

Of course the special Bellisseria Passport stamp is available as well. 

Hope Fest Bellisseria is part of the Relay For Life of Second Life. 100% of all donations and sales support the American Cancer Society.
