Happy February, Tamerlane!
In my travels through Second Life, I have discovered that the Valentine’s themed Shop & Hop 2026 event has started!
What is a Shop & Hop?
The Shops & Hop events run periodically through the year in Second Life. You must have the game of Second Life to be able to go there and shop or pick up the free, usable items that can be used in
Second Life.
Items can be anything from skins and wearables for avatars to decor for houses and landscaping. There are discounted items and gifts from 280 merchants in Second Life.
The Shop & Hop events are large and will take time to get through all the regions when you go.
The Event lasts two weeks, from January 30, 2026, to February 16, 2026.
Shop & Hop Locations
There are 14 regions for visitors to explore and gather gifts during the Valentine's Themed Shop & Hop 2026 event
To get to a region
You can open up Second Life and teleport using the Destination Guide, or you can open Second Life and click any of the following links directly to teleport there.
