For many of Azeroth's inhabitants, combat on both a grand scale and at the level of individual skirmishes has become ritualistic and in some ways even ceremonial. This page documents the ongoing confrontations and celebrations in the game - and those events in between which the line has blurred. Below are some of the events, which are fun if you ever get around to them.
'Event' can also refer to a triggering message for some API function. See Events (API) for more details.
Types of environment changes accompanying events include:
- caravans, tents, or wagons being added to an area,
- decorations on buildings,
- new fixed devices,
- new mobs, quest givers, vendors, or other NPCs,
- special drink and food,
- holiday-specific quests and quest rewards, and
- holiday-themed recipes.
Ongoing Events
Over the course of Azeroth's troubled history, the times of celebration have fallen under the shadow of the conflicts that have shaped and scarred the world. Every day, as new challenges surface, new champions answer the call to arms, relishing the glory and the rewards of battles well fought. Below are details of some of the current disturbances warranting investigation - and participation - by the world's most adventurous heroes.
- Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza (Sunday from 2-4pm)
- Elemental Invasions (occur randomly, though frequently)
- Gurubashi Arena Booty Run (every 10 hours)
- Darkmoon Faire (appears one week per month, alternating locations)
- Battlegrounds Holiday (from Thursday night to Tuesday morning every week)
Seasonal Events

What better way to celebrate the year's victories and other achievements than in the company of a few thousand of your closest allies?
