World of Warcraft news » Midsummer Fire Festival is now!
Across Azeroth and Outland, brilliant bonfires have been lit to rekindle peoples’ spirits and ward off ancient evils. Each year, new guardians are chosen to watch over the sacred flames and ensure that they are never extinguished.
Called "flamekeepers," these chosen few request the aid of brave adventurers to traverse the land and journey into the dark recesses of Azeroth's dungeons. It is rumoured that any heroes who are willing to brave the terrors placed before them will be rewarded for their efforts through the power of the flames.
The Midsummer Fire Festival is one of the most PvP-heavy events in the land, so strap into your gladiator gear and get ready to desecrate or defend the Midsummer bonfires.

As with most holidays, you'll want to stop by a capital city to begin the event’s main quests, including the ever-fun torch tossing challenges.
| Activities | |
|---|---|
| Defeat Ahune, the Frost Lord |
Characters of level 89 or higher can use the Dungeon Finder to do battle with Ahune, the Frost Lord. Ahune can only be confronted during the Fire Festival. Once Ahune is defeated, you'll be able to loot his very special rewards... |
| Snuffing Out The Flames |
Members of the Horde and Alliance can visit the bonfires of the opposing faction and snuff them out, depriving their enemies of the blessings of the fire spirits! Take care, because each side will defend its own flames. |
| By Fire Be Blessed |
Touching any bonfire will cleanse an individual of nearly all ailments. Toss Burning Blossoms into the fire, and the resulting flare will bless you with a temporary but useful buff! |
| Dancing Around the Ribbon Pole |
At every festival camp, one of these traditional decorations stands tall beside the bonfire. Take up one of the multi-colored ribbons and dance around the pole with your friends and fellow celebrants! |
| Fire Juggling |
Speak with the Master Fire Juggler near your capital's bonfire in order to juggle flaming torches in this daily quest! |
| Fire in the Sky |
The lengthy Midsummer Fire Festival traditionally ends with the sky itself being set alight. The goblins of Undermine have lent their considerable skill (and copious amounts of gunpowder) to the task, resulting in a tremendous fireworks show! |
| Daily Quests |
Several Daily Quests are available during this event, and you'll need to catch 10 torches in a row, win a torch tossing game, or slay enemies of the Fire to complete them. |
| Merchants and Vendors |
|---|
|
These party profiteers will trade Burning Blossoms for food, festive clothes, a pet, and more! |
