Martian Holly Daze in Blue Mars!

--Jasmine Spearing, Marketing Associate

It’s been a big year for us in Blue Mars. We’ve come a long way in the last 12 months, adding new features, improving our platform, and watching our developers as they expand their talents and bring some truly wonderful content into Blue Mars.

We want to celebrate the accomplishments, enthusiasm, and pioneering spirit of everyone in Blue Mars by launching our first ever Martian Holly Daze! Running from December 20, 2010 to January 2, 2011, this two week festival will feature new wintery themed events, prizes and contests, and allow us to show our appreciation to our developers and members!

See below for a complete list of events, and make sure to check out the first ever live music performance in Blue Mars! Famed virtual world musician Anekretia will perform on Wednesday December 22, 2010 at 4 pm PST in the Welcome Area!
