Join us for Wintersday in July!

It’s time to take a break from the summer heat (or celebrate the frosty weather, depending on your hemisphere) with our Wintersday in July celebration! The festivities will begin on Friday, July 13, at noon PDT (GMT-7) and wrap up on Sunday, July 15, at 11:59 p.m. PDT (GMT-7).

Players who want to dive into some holiday PvP can test their might in the Snowball Arena. Check in with a Wintersday Priest in Ascalon City, Droknar's Forge, the Great Temple of Balthazar, Kamadan, or Lion's Arch to be taken to the Arena and try your skills against other players.

You’ll earn Candy Cane Shards in the Arena, which can be traded for Wintersday Gifts from the Wintersday Gift Givers in the Snowball Arena outpost.

The Wintersday in July festival is a weekend full of fun and games, so bundle up and join us in Guild Wars—we’ll see you there!
