This month is highlighted by a fireworks celebration, a new aether race and Tinkerfest.

Summer has arrived in Norrath and everyone is celebrating! Grab a free Festive Sparkler from the Marketplace and visit fireworks coordinators in Freeport, Gorowyn, Kelethin, Neriak, New Halas or Qeynos to earn your own fireworks launchers! The Summer Celebration Fireworks Festival runs until 11:59pm PDT on July 4th.

The city of Gorowyn was abuzz with excitement this month as the Far Seas Caravan arrived at its docks to begin the city festival. Players can acquire local specialties from Chris Weathers and earn more city tokens by assisting Kella Swampfoot with her tasks. The Flying Freebooters have joined the festivities and a new Aether Racing course is available in Timorous Deep. All are welcome to try their luck on the unstable C.R.A.S.H. pads and those who are fast enough will earn a new pretitle. The aether race and city festival run concurrently and will both end at 11:59pm PDT on July 7th.

On the 20th of this month, the phases of the moon will once again be aligned, revealing the secret grottos. Moonlight Enchantments will begin at 12:01am PDT on July 20th and will conclude at 11:59pm PDT on July 21st. No new items are expected to be on the grotto merchants.

Gnomish gizmos and gadgets will be celebrated around Norrath near the end of the month as the Tinkerfest festivities begin! A new quest, many new craftables and rewards and more merchant items will be available this year. Tinkerfest will run from July 29th through August 8th.
