Blizzard Entertainment has released information about its latest in-game event for the ever popular World of Warcraft. The Midsummer FIre Festival will offer special missions with the opportunity for earning unique items. The event will also feature a fireworks show in addition to other activities.

Here are some of the scheduled entertainments for the Midsummer Fire Festival:

Tending the Flames
Across Azeroth, brilliant bonfires have been lit to signify the hottest months of the year. The chosen Flamekeepers are eager to ensure they continue burning long into the days and nights of the celebration - and they seek the aid of able explorers in doing so. Traverse the land and delve into dangerous dungeons at their behest. You may return hot, sweaty, and a little sooty...but these spiritual guides understand well the need to reward their adventurers beyond the promise of "enlightenment."

Fire in the Sky
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
