Visitors also have the option to play through the Siege of Lordaeron event that kick-starts Battle for Azeroth.

Stop by the Darkmoon Faire area for some fun-faire themed fun! Mount-up for your photo opportunity on top of a lifesize X-53 Touring Rocket, show your faction pride with a selection of airbursh make-up designs, and get your fortune read at the Fortune Teller’s booth – the most fortunate may even win a prize!
