WoW Forever events and holidays

Frequently asked questions

When is the next Darkmoon Faire in WoW Forever?

The Darkmoon Faire comes every month for a week, in turn in Elwynn Forest and in Mulgore, at the foot of Thunder Bluff. The game’s calendar opens it on a Monday morning, realm time, and closes it the next Monday at the same hour. The list above shows the next one, how long until it opens on your realm, and a button to add it to your calendar.

What does realm time mean for WoW Forever’s holidays?

A holiday opens at the same hour on every realm’s own clock: the same hour on an American realm’s clock and on a European realm’s clock, which is not the same moment. The countdowns here assume your realm keeps your time. If it does not, choose the hour your game’s clock shows above the list: every countdown follows, and the page remembers it on this device.

Where do these dates come from?

From the game itself: WoW Forever’s client carries its calendar, each holiday with its start, its length and how it comes back. We read it again with each new build of the game, so a holiday is here as soon as the game knows it, often before any announcement. A holiday the calendar does not date for sure, without a date to come or a length, is named under the list instead of being guessed.

Is the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza every week?

Yes: the game’s calendar brings it back every week, along the coasts of Stranglethorn Vale. Its card above gives its day and hour on your realm, the countdown to the next one, and a button that adds it to your calendar every week.

Can I add WoW Forever’s holidays to my calendar?

Yes. Each holiday has buttons for Google Calendar, Outlook.com and a file for Apple Calendar or Outlook, set at realm time, so it shows at that hour in your calendar. To get them all, subscribe to WoW Forever’s calendar under the list: it carries the game’s holidays and Blizzard’s dates, and updates itself when the game’s calendar or an announcement changes.
