Every discussion surrounding the metaverse cannot be completed with a mention of Decentraland. As one of the best blockchain-based platforms, Decentraland has many unique experiences to offer to its users. Whether it’s to purchase and sell virtual land plots and digital real estate or trading other NFTs, Decentraland is packed with ways to earn. With this, we’re going to talk about Decentraland Events too.
What truly makes Decentraland stand out is the number of virtual events regularly held on the platform. Today we will be highlighting the ten greatest events of all time, hosted virtually on Decentraland. So let’s dive straight into it!
Before we begin to rank these events, it is certainly worth noting that there are hundreds and hundreds of them, with a significant portion recurring on a frequent basis. Therefore, to do justice to them, we will break down this list into three categories, namely: the best ‘first-ever’ events, ‘top-featured’ events, and ‘weekly recurring’ events. Let the Ranking Game begin!
Best ‘first-ever’ Decentraland Events
#1- Metaverse Fashion Week
Held between March 24th and 27th, the first-ever Metaverse Fashion Week created a big buzz all around the world. Its popularity was a result of its true inclusion nature.

Users can simply log into the browser-based platform and join the event from virtually anywhere.
#2 – Live Music Festival
Big names, including DeadMau5 and Paris Hilton, were some of the main stars of a four-day Metaverse Music Festival hosted on Decentraland. With five main stages and different music themes, the total count of artists performing during the festival crossed well over 80!
