Just as goofy as real world 4th of July pictures

This weekend, the Dragon Festival event is live on the Guild Wars servers.

Offering half a dozen events, special consumables, and a special festival mask (for an exchange of 250 Victory Tokens), the Dragon Festival is held at the Shing Jea Monastery. It's a bit like celebrating the Chinese New Year in July.

The official events page has the full schedule (some missions are held at specific times during the weekend.)

Festival events include:

• The Shing Jea Boardwalk reappears. Play games to earn tickets and boost your luck, or play to lose and work your way down a different life track.


• Rollerbeetle Racing returns. Visit the Rollerbeetle Racing Arena to be outfitted with your very own rollerbeetle racer, complete with a special set of racing skills.


• The Dragon Arena reopens. Head over to the arena grounds for a brawling good time.


• Explore special festival quests & events. Visit Imperial Guard Hanso in the Shing Jea Monastery for a series of festival-themed event quests.


• Relive Cantha’s glorious history. Participate in special festival quests and missions that recreate important battles from Cantha's past, featuring the Empire’s finest actors in traditional Canthan theater masks!


• Visit with the Emperor. On the last day of the festival, Emperor Kisu will make appearances every two hours within Shing Jea Monastery to kick off the final reenactment, which features the Empire’s finest actors in traditional Canthan theater masks. If completed successfully, participants will be richly rewarded. If not, well...


• Commemorative festival masks. Imperial Supply Master Kagno will remain in Shing Jea Monastery for one week following the festival, giving attendees who miss all of Emperor Kisu’s final events a chance to redeem their 250 Victory Tokens for the new Imperial Dragon Mask.
