The Lunar Festival is a time of celebration, hosted by the Cenarion Circle. The peoples of Azeroth celebrate their triumph of many thousands of years ago, when an alliance of good races - the kaldorei, shu’halo, furbolgs, and earthen - defeated the terrible threat of the Burning Legion. It has been a time of remembrance for the valor and wisdom of that ancient age.
Moonglade is the most notable area of celebration, there festivities have been arranged to delight citizens and invigorate adventurers. The event welcomes all races and allies in good terms with the Cenarion Circle, or the people of Nighthaven. Revelers are encouraged to dress festively and in vibrant colors.

Festival Events & Booths
The festival celebrations begin with the brief tale reminiscing the past. A druid of the Cenarion Circle tells the tale of Omen and the demigod’s role during the War of the Ancients more than 10,000 years ago.
The production this year is being expanded on to include more roles played by various members of the community.
Nighthaven’s annual dumpling eating contest is held in conjunction with the Lunar Festival to celebrate the many different styles and flavors of dumplings from around Azeroth. This year, the Quilen & Cloud Teahouse will be joined by the Red Wing. We’re excited for the Pandaren-fusion flavors that Kunbo, Ingheti, and Ming have prepared for us!
Throughout the event, the Teahouse will host a few eating contests for festivalgoers to enjoy!

Revelers are offered the opportunity to ride the beasts of Moonglade. Together there are three types, or teams: the noble sabers, the cunning wolves, and the reliable bears. Speed won’t be everything in this competition - timing and sportsmanship are also essential.
Those interested in participating are highly encouraged to reply to this thread to sign up, please be sure to indicate your character’s in-game name and the team you wish to participate on.
Rules
Three teams of three racers mount up on team-specific mounts for ease of tracking. Racing flags are placed at checkpoints along the racing track and druid scouts will fly overhead to ensure none are cheating. Points and penalties will be awarded to teams based on sportsmanship throughout the race.
OOC: No speed-enhancing talents, items, or buffs will be permitted. Classes with passive speed bonuses will be divided accordingly to keep the game fair. Those who wish to participate are asked to ensure they have purchased one of the following mounts: a saber, a worg, a wolf, or a bear.
Prizes:
All participants will receive one pet matching their beast!
