The Midsummer Fire Festival is a seasonal event that celebrates the hottest season of the year. It starts on the (earthly) northern summer solstice, and lasts about two weeks (mid-late June to early July, usually). It is similar to the Lunar Festival and other holidays, featuring some useful buffs, food, and toys to play with.

Occurs June 21st - July 5th, 2021.

It was introduced in Patch 1.11, and given a major revamp in June 2008.

From Midsummer Fire Festival on the old official website:

Ah, so you weren't chosen for Flamekeeper this year? Don't fret, my friend! The Midsummer Fire Festival isn't merely about that traditional honor; it's a time of merriment, a chance to celebrate the hottest season of the year by lighting great fires across the land and sharing in what the elemental spirits can offer. Come to our camps and join in the revelry!

The ending of the Festival seems to have been merged with the Fireworks Spectacular (previously named the "Engineers' Explosive Extravaganza") holiday:

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! Take up a festival mug and raise a toast to the season as the multicolored explosions dance across the sky above you!

Buffs

Touching the Ribbon Pole gives a 3 minute buff increasing earned experience by 10%. Up to 60 minutes can be stacked.

  [Ribbon Dance]^ω ϖ—Experience gained from killing monsters increased by 10%!

• Using Ribbon Poles causes a colorful streamer of energy to go to your hand and causes you to dance. This gives a 3-minute Ribbon Dance buff increasing earned experience by 10%. This buff stacks up to 20 times (60 minutes), increasing its duration by 3 minutes for every 3 seconds you keep dancing around the pole.

  [Fire Festival Fury]^ω ϖ—Increases critical strike percent and spell critical strike percent by 3.

• When thrown into a festival fire, Burning Blossoms give you a buff Fire Festival Fury, 3% critical strike and spell critical strike rating for sixty minutes as well as causing fire damage to attackers.

  [Bonfire's Blessing]^ω ϖ—Target gains a 30% chance to inflict Fire damage on any melee, ranged, or spell attack.

• If a bonfire has gone out, tossing a Burning Blossom in it will provide a zone-wide buff, Bonfire's Blessing, that gives you a 30% chance to inflict (<your level> x 10) Fire damage on any melee, ranged, or spell attack. Bonfire's Blessing is capable of delivering a critical hit with 100% additional damage and is affected by bonus spell damage. This buff goes away if the opposite faction desecrates the bonfire.

  [Fire Festival Fortitude]^ω ϖ—Increases Stamina by 30 for 1 hour.

• Special flame samples can be collected from the bonfires in each of the four main cities of the opposing faction. Each sample will begin a quest called "Stealing the [City]'s Flame." Upon completing each quest, everyone in the capital city will receive Fire Festival Fortitude, a +30 stamina buff. Once all 4 have been collected and returned to a Festival representative, you receive the quest A Thief's Reward and are rewarded with the  [Crown of the Fire Festival].

  [Reverence for the Flame]^ω ϖ—Experience gained from killing monsters increased by 10%! 1 hour remaining.

• Gained when honoring the new (for 2011) neutral flames in Deepholm, Mount Hyjal, and the Shimmering Expanse.

Bonfires

See also: Alliance Bonfire, Horde Bonfire, Neutral Bonfire

The Flame Warden at each of your own faction's bonfires offers you Honor the Flame.

Right-clicking a bonfire of the opposite faction offers Desecrate this Fire!. The act of dousing a bonfire does not pull guards (though they will aggro as normal based on range and level - Wildhammer Stronghold in Shadowmoon Valley requires a flying mount or stealth to avoid aggro), making this a fast and easy way to generate money and Burning Blossoms. Be warned that dousing the opposite faction's bonfire will flag you for PVP combat.

The bonfires of capital cities have separate quests, and you cannot Honor the Flame of your own faction's Capitals.

There are a grand total of 100 bonfires across the four continents:

• Horde (49): 45 normal, plus 4 capitals
• Alliance (51): 47 normal, plus 4 capitals
• Neutral (3)
• Shattrath (1): unable to be honored or desecrated

Interacting with the fires rewards different amounts of Burning Blossoms:

• Stealing a fire from an opposing faction's capital city: 25
• Honoring a neutral fire: 15
• Desecrating an opposing faction's fire (excludes capitals): 10
• Honoring your own faction's fire (excludes capitals): 5

Here are the current amount of Blossoms you can collect:

• Horde: $48*10+46*5+4*25+9*15=945$ total Burning Blossoms available
• Alliance: $48*5+46*10+4*25+9*15=935$ total Burning Blossoms available

History

2017

New items were made available to purchase like [Set of Matches] and [Igneous Flameling], and bonfires have been added to Draenor and the Broken Isles. In addition, Ahune now drops ilvl 850 cloaks.

2015

Added new toys and pets: [Burning Defender's Medallion], [Blazing Cindercrawler], and [Cozy Bonfire].

As of Patch 6.1, several heirloom upgrade items added for purchase: [Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing], [Timeworn Heirloom Armor Casing]. In addition, Ahune now drops ilvl 670 capes.

2012

Added: [Helm of the Fire Festival].

2010

Previously, the Reveler set items could be used to get Burning Hot Pole Dance and then returned (within 2 hours of purchase) for a full refund, allowing you to use those Blossoms for other purchases. In 2010, Festival Garb ( [Mantle of the Fire Festival]  [Vestment of Summer]  [Sandals of Summer]) is no longer refundable, so spend your Blossoms wisely!

2009 issues

When the Midsummer event started, flags for completion of the quests in 2008 had not been reset, preventing those who had completed one-time quests in 2008 from getting those quests and gathering Burning Blossoms. Further, characters above level 70 did not have a version of the quest Striking Back.

Recent In-Game Fixes - 6/22/09 | 2009-06-22 22:59 | Bornakk

We are in the process of applying an in-game fix that will restart all of the quests associated with the Midsummer Fire Festival event and allow players to complete them once again. If you are in the process of completing an achievement such as Extinguishing Kalimdor, this fix will reset your progress and you will need start over. This fix will require realms to be restarted.

View original post

This fix allowed anyone who had already completed any bonfire quests in 2009 before the fix was applied to gather more Blossoms that year than are usually available. Completed achievements were not revoked, but partially completed ones lost all progress. The Striking Back quest for 67-70 characters was extended to 67-80, once again allowing 20 Blossoms per day from daily quests.

While the initial patch was to have reset all event quests, it proved incomplete in many cases. Many reported being unable to complete the "city flames" quests for Exodar and Silvermoon despite being able to repeat those for other cities. At least one realm was not reset properly the first time, and further issues were found. A number of players have continued to have problems with the Exodar and Silvermoon city flame quests.

Wikipedia Like other seasonal events in WoW, the Midsummer Fire Festival is based on a real world holiday, in this case the predominantly European Midsummer festivals celebrated around the summer solstice. The ending fireworks are reminiscent of the Independence Day holiday celebrated in the United States.
