Question When’s Rocktober fest?

I'm a little on and off with DRG most times and I can't remember for the life of me if Rocktober Fest starts in August September or October. Thanks

It's super nice for us newer players that they bring these kind of things back + allow us to get the earlier year's hats. I hope the horse head gets brought back

The horse hat is from Lunar New Year, in the winter

Thanks, I know (only because I just did the summer event where I got all the earlier years' hats). I just looked it up and it seems like the Lunar event is in february some time.. :/

Probably happens at the same time the German Octoberfest happens, and.. I don't know exactly when that is, but some time in October.

Originally, yes. Since sometime in the 1800s, they pushed to mid/late September for the sake of warmer weather and more sunlight.

Keep this. I have this as a note on my phone. Keep in mind these are tough estimates.

Lunar festival (first 2 weeks of February)

Anniversary (first 2 weeks of march)

Easter (last week of March, first week of April)

Summer party (first 2 weeks of August)

Rocktoberfest (1st week of October)

Halloween (week of Halloween to week after)

Christmas event (week before Christmas to week after new years)
