Welcome to the Darkmoon Faire

Step right up.

Enter the Darkmoon Faire—a massive, immersive pop-up carnival bringing the mystical in-game World of Warcraft event to life. Here, you’ll find games, collectibles, prizes, rewards, trading, and a few surprises along the way.


Whether you’re hoping to adopt a new plushie companion, test your luck at the duck pond, trade with fellow collectors, or discover an in-game reward, there’s something waiting for every adventurer.

Before You Enter the Faire

Darkmoon Faire is one of the most popular experiences at BlizzCon and may reach capacity throughout the weekend.

  • Entry closes at 7:00 PM each day.
  • Entry is first-come, first-served.
  • Capacity restrictions may be in place throughout the day.
  • Entry lines may be paused or closed when the Faire reaches capacity.
  • Arriving earlier in the day gives you a better chance of experiencing everything.
  • Seating at the Darkmoon Faire stage is limited.

Plan Your Visit

Darkmoon Faire includes games, shopping, collectibles, trading, themed food and beverage, and limited-capacity experiences. Planning ahead helps you make the most of your visit.

Something new beneath the surface

Duck Pond

Choose your duck, test your luck, and see what treasures await beneath the surface.

How It Works

  1. Purchase your pond entry ticket.
  2. Hand your redemption ticket to staff.
  3. Take your position around the pond and grab your fishing rod.
  4. Catch your duck.
  5. Check the bottom for an in-game pet code star.
  6. Take your duck home — and if you found a star, redeem it at the prize booth.

Good to know: limited to 3 tickets per transaction · staff will assign your spot, and all positions are the same · please return nets where you found them · the first duck you touch is your selection, so no flipping or swapping.

02

Every companion deserves a home

Adopt-A-Plushie

Adopt-A-Plushie gives adventurers the opportunity to discover a new plush companion, with eight new plushies arriving in 2026. Some lucky visitors will also receive a code for Skipper, a special in-game pet.

  2. You'll be directed to select one of two windows.
  3. Get your certificate stamped for verification.

  4. Redeem all of your tokens before you leave.
  5. Collect your capsule prizes and any in-game prizes.
  6. Take any in-game prize code to the redeem booth at the end of the row.
