World of Warcraft Micro-Holiday Overview

By Wowhead Updated: 2026/08/17

Call of the ScarabJanuary 21-23

To commemorate the first ringing of the Scarab Gong on January 23, 2006, players will be able to relive a portion of the Ahn’Qiraj gate opening by collecting items for turn-in. The winning faction will then be able to claim bragging rights and have their faction flag hang over the gates until the next Call of the Scarab micro-holiday event. Players who are in a different phase can speak to Rhonormu near the Scarab Gong to enter the correct event phase.

Ungoro MadnessMarch 17-19

Dinosaurs are running amok in Un’Goro. Help quell the rampage and you’ll be awarded some temporary evolution buffs.

Un'Goro Crater

Clutchmother Zavas: Upgraded version of the silithid rare Clutchmother Zavas

Giantfin: Giant murloc by the Hot Springs

Akaridal: One of the Sauroks, a race introduced in Mists of Pandaria as part of the Isle of Thunder

Tar Tyrant: Related to the Tar Lord lurking around northern Un'Goro.

Dadanga: A friendly kodo in Marshal's Refuge that was killed in the Cataclysm. Pay respects to Dadanga's grave by gathering Bloodpetal Sprout.

Dino Mojo

Adaptation: Poisonous Skin: The caster's skin secretes toxins that will inflict 646 to 752 Nature damage to all players within 100 yards every 3 sec.

Adaptation: Adrenaline: The caster's adrenal gland is hyperactive. Every 3 sec. the caster's damage dealt is increased.

Adaptation: Heavy Footed: The caster is heavy footed. Any time the caster moves, nearby enemies are flung by the shock waves their steps create.

Adaptation: Spores: The caster's skin is infested with volatile spores. Every 5 sec. a series of spores are launched at nearby enemies. Anyone caught within 0 yards of the impact will suffer Nature damage.

Adaptation: Caustic Blood: The caster is bleeding profusely, every 3 sec. a pool of Caustic Blood forms. Players standing in these pools suffer 775 to 901 Nature damage every second.

Adaptation: Chronometric Instability: The caster's ties to the timeline are unstable. Many abilities will echo at the same location several seconds later.

About Un'Goro CraterUn'Goro Crater

One of the most interesting questlines in the zone is a tribute to Don Quixote, a knight who battled windmills. Aiding Maximillian of Northshire in The Ballad of Maximillian will reward you with Toy Windmill.

Another unique part of Un'Goro is the crystal pylon system, which is introduced to players via Crystals of Power. Collect different types of crystals, and pair up certain color combinations at pylons for buffs. For example, Crystal Spire is a reward for combining Blue and Yellow crystals at the Eastern Pylon.

Un'Goro is also a fun place for hunter tames, including Devilsaurs, Gorillas, Scalehides, and Raptors like Uhk'loc, Ravasaur Matriarch, and King Mosh.

Dinosaurs have always been a major part of Un'Goro. While tiptoeing around the powerful Tyrant Devilsaur stomping through the zone, all players can loot the battle pet Ravasaur Hatchling, and Horde players can work towards acquiring the mount Whistle of the Venomhide Ravasaur.

In Classic WoW, gear made with Devilsaur Leather was in high demand: Devilsaur Gauntlets and Devilsaur Leggings.

March of the TadpolesApril 5

Each year, the Winterfin murlocs allow their tadpoles free reign over their village. You can make a difference by adopting your favorite, feeding it, and protecting it from nearby predators.

Murloc CostumeCrate of Bobbers: Murloc HeadSouvenir MurlocNo Shellfish EndeavorBorean TundraOh Noes, the Tadpoles!Adopt a Tadpole

One day every year, usually in mid-spring, the Winterfin tadpoles are given free reign of the village. I'm not sure why this tradition persists, as it usually results in heavy damage to their buildings and food stores.

I usually try not to interfere too much with the goings-on of the tribe, but today, I take exception. Go out and see if you can keep an eye on one of the tadpoles.

This is pretty cool. I'm actually looking forward to the guard volunteer day.

Comment by Artio

I must say, the effort to add content really pays off well!
I'm looking forward to these days. Hope the rewards are good enough to keep a lot of people interested so it won't die after a day...

Comment by pat33

Nice keep up the good work!

BUT:

We need old achievements from Wintergrasp and Tol Barad BG. It's impossible to do them because no one attend them anymore.

Bring them back into legion (1 week in a month) with up to date rewards .

Looks like this "holiday" is already broken. Tippsi keeps sending us to the same tavern and none of the NPCs are even "partying". So much more could be done with events like this and if there aren't any items to collect or achievements, the least Blizz could do is make the NPCs look like they're having a good time. I mean, you could have NPCs makin' out, drunk fighting, dancing, laughing, and just going nuts. You could get a small stacking buff that increases with each tavern you visit and remains for the duration of the holiday. Even small things like that would have added some spice to the flavor if you know what I mean. Yeah, this attempt fell flat. I think this is a waste of time and money for both Blizz and their customers.

Now - 22/7 there is Dance Extravaganza.. its missing in this overview

Comment by Teenytina1308

This list appears to be missing the Kirin Tor Tavern crawl, 1/31. Benefits of the tavern crawl are that you get to try a bunch of different cool drinks, and discarded packages give you a random hat as a buff for 4 hours.

Comment by Thedrun2

" These holidays will not have permanent rewards or achievements. "

Not entirely true, depending on your definition of a "reward" - some holidays like the Free T-Shirt Day offer appearance transmogs.
