Upcoming Holidays in Azeroth
Within the next week we have three upcoming holidays starting! Two of these holidays offer mounts, toys and achievements that can only be obtained during the event. Check your in game calendar to see the starting dates and times for these events!
Harvest Festival
The Harvest Festival runs for a week, starting today. This holiday is fairly uneventful, and has no achievements or items of note attached to it. It is a time to commemorate those who have sacrificed their lives to help friends and allies.
