Metaverse Pride 2023

Metaverse Pride 2023, which took place from 27. - 29. June 2023 within Decentraland, marked its third consecutive year as a dedicated event celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community, encouraging diversity and inclusivity in the virtual realm. It was coinciding with the real-life pride typical Pride Parade, featuring extravagant floats representing various organizations and communities, adding to the festive atmosphere. 
The festival, organized in collaboration with Polygonal Mind and Vegas City, transformed Art Plaza into an oasis with dynamic environments, reflecting the theme of unity and collective achievements. 
Attendees were able to explore immersive experiences, games, art installations, and live performances tailored for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. Special booths and experiences, such as the Pride Quest and Meta Queens booth, enriched the celebration by promoting awareness and empowerment within the community.
