The Midsummer Fire Festival is a seasonal event that celebrates the hottest season of the year. It starts on the (earthly) northern summer solstice, and lasts about two weeks (June 21 - July 4). It is similar to the Lunar Festival and other holidays, featuring some useful buffs, food, and toys to play with.

It was introduced in Patch 1.11, given a major revamp in June 2008, and again changed for Cataclysm.

From Midsummer Fire Festival on the official website:

Across Azeroth and Outland, brilliant bonfires have been lit to rekindle peoples’ spirits and ward off ancient evils. Each year, new guardians are chosen to watch over the sacred flames and ensure that they are never extinguished.

The ending of the Festival seems to have been merged with the Engineers' Explosive Extravaganza holiday:

The lengthy Midsummer Fire Festival traditionally ends with the sky itself being set alight. The goblins of Undermine have lent their considerable skill (and copious amounts of gunpowder) to the task, resulting in a tremendous fireworks show! Take up a festival mug and raise a toast to the season as the multicolored explosions dance across the sky above you!

Buffs

File:OrgMid2.jpg

Touching the Ribbon Pole gives a 3 minute buff increasing earned experience by 10%. Up to 60 minutes can be stacked.

• Using Ribbon Poles causes a colorful streamer of energy to go to your hand and causes you to dance. This gives a 3-minute [Ribbon Dance] buff increasing earned experience by 10%. This buff stacks up to 20 times (60 minutes), increasing its duration by 3 minutes for every 3 seconds you keep dancing around the pole.
• When thrown into a festival fire, Burning Blossoms give you a buff [Fire Festival Fury], 3% critical strike and spell critical strike rating for sixty minutes as well as causing fire damage to attackers.
• If a bonfire has gone out, tossing a Burning Blossom in it will provide a zone-wide buff, [Bonfire's Blessing], that gives you a 30% chance to inflict (<your level> x 10) Fire damage on any melee, ranged, or spell attack. Bonfire's Blessing is capable of delivering a critical hit with 100% additional damage and is affected by bonus spell damage. This buff goes away if the opposite faction desecrates the bonfire.
• Special flame samples can be collected from the bonfires in each of the four main cities of the opposing faction. Each sample will begin a quest called "Stealing the [City]'s Flame." Upon completing each quest, everyone in the capital city will receive [Fire Festival Fortitude], a +30 stamina buff. Once all 4 have been collected and returned to a Festival representative, you receive the quest  [1-70] A Thief's Reward and are rewarded with the  [Crown of the Fire Festival].

Burning Blossom redemption

Below are the items you can purchase with  [Burning Blossom] at Midsummer Suppliers and Midsummer Merchants. You can get 20 Blossoms every day through daily quests. In 2010, it was possible to get 702 (H)/692 (A) Blossoms from the other quests, with the release of Cataclysm and the addition of more bonfires, it is now possible to get all rewards in one year. Furthermore, each  [Satchel of Chilled Goods] contains 5-15 Burning Blossoms.

Lord Ahune

To gain access to the holiday boss, Lord Ahune, you must first complete a chain of quests beginning at an Earthen Ring Elder near the flame in a friendly capital city.

1.  [1-70] Unusual Activity
2.  [1-70] An Innocent Disguise
3.  [1-70] Inform the Elder

Players are then given access to Ahune if level 89 or higher, and a daily quest is made available based on their level:

• Striking Back (level 22)
• Striking Back (level 32)

Bonfires

See also: Alliance Bonfire, Horde Bonfire

The Flame Wardens and Flame Keepers at each of your own faction's bonfires offers you  [1-70] Honor the Flame.

Right-clicking a bonfire of the opposite faction offers  [1-70] Desecrate this Fire!. The act of dousing a bonfire does not pull guards (though they will aggro as normal based on range and level - Wildhammer Stronghold in Shadowmoon Valley requires a flying mount or stealth to avoid aggro), making this a fast and easy way to generate money and Burning Blossoms. Be warned that dousing the opposite faction's bonfire will flag you for PVP combat.

The bonfires of capital cities have separate quests, and you cannot Honor the Flame of your own faction's Capitals.

There are a grand total of 102 bonfires across the four continents: 3 Neutral, 48 Horde, and 51 Alliance. Excluding the 4 capital cities on each side, that leaves 44 Horde and 47 Alliance.

• Alliance: $44\times 10+47\times 5+4\times 25+3\times 15=820$ total Burning Blossoms available without dailies
• Horde: $47\times 10+44\times 5+4\times 25+3\times 15=835$ total Burning Blossoms available without dailies

History

2010

Previously, the Reveler set items could be used to get  [Burning Hot Pole Dance] and then returned (within 2 hours of purchase) for a full refund, allowing you to use those Blossoms for other purchases. In 2010, Festival Garb ( [Mantle of the Fire Festival]  [Vestment of Summer]  [Sandals of Summer]) is no longer refundable, so spend your Blossoms wisely!

2009 issues

When the Midsummer event started, flags for completion of the quests in 2008 had not been reset, preventing those who had completed one-time quests in 2008 from getting those quests and gathering Burning Blossoms. Further, characters above level 70 did not have a version of the quest Striking Back.

Recent In-Game Fixes - 6/22/09 | 2009-06-22 22:59 |  Bornakk

We are in the process of applying an in-game fix that will restart all of the quests associated with the Midsummer Fire Festival event and allow players to complete them once again. If you are in the process of completing an achievement such as Extinguishing Kalimdor, this fix will reset your progress and you will need start over. This fix will require realms to be restarted.

View original post

This fix allowed anyone who had already completed any bonfire quests in 2009 before the fix was applied to gather more Blossoms that year than are usually available. Completed achievements were not revoked, but partially completed ones lost all progress. The Striking Back (level 67) quest for 67-70 characters was extended to 67-80, once again allowing 20 Blossoms per day from daily quests.

While the initial patch was to have reset all event quests, it proved incomplete in many cases. Many reported being unable to complete the "city flames" quests for Exodar and Silvermoon despite being able to repeat those for other cities. At least one realm was not reset properly the first time, and further issues were found. A number of players have continued to have problems with the Exodar and Silvermoon city flame quests.
