Summerfest is back!

Hello, Ascended!
It’s been an entire year, but now it is finally time, Summerfest is back!

What is Summerfest?

The origins of Summerfest are shrouded in mystery, but many scholars trace it back to ancient elven rituals involving burning sacrifices inside wicker figures. Today, most elves prefer to forget these barbaric aspects of their past, and such practices are now forbidden by both High Elves and Kelari, though occasionally referenced by disgruntled Dwarves. In modern Telara, Summerfest has evolved into a celebration of flames for all Ascended to enjoy. This holiday marks the longest days of summer and continues ancient traditions with a focus on fun, even in the sweltering heat. These festivities help lighten the mood and provide a distraction from the near-constant threats against Telara. Activities aplenty!

But aside from its intriguing history, Summerfest has plenty of activities for you to enjoy, such as Scavenger Hunts, Swarmlord Khargroth Battles, Seasonal Quests, Artifact Pinatas and much more!

Don’t hesitate Ascended, the Summerfest will pack up and leave on July 30, 2025, and its store will remain available until August 6, 2025, for all the Ascended who did not have quite enough time to buy all the gifts they wanted!

Your RIFT team.
