Being the excessive goof that I am, thereās now a Carrd page for the event as well for sharing with friends! Iāve been curious how the Carrd system works, so this was a nice exercise to familiarize myself with it. The forum thread will of course still be kept up to date with all the latest information.
Thereāll be more updates leading up to the event.

Hey Mekavolt! If possible, could you please reach out to me on Discord (eepox) so that I could get in touch you about Boomtec helping with the Lantern Show? It would be good to schedule the rehearsal date well in advance, to ensure we find a day and time that works for all involved!
Event updates:
As a token of participation, all competitors in the Moonball Tournament will be presented with a trinket, no matter how far they advance in the competition.
Excited to attend! Iāll try to make an art submission for Xitter too!
The countdown continuesāone week closer to the Lunar Festival!
Weāre thrilled to announce the theme for the festival play 
Gather close, seekers of tales, and journey with us to a time near forgotten. Together, let us honor the memory of the two-headed wolf demigod ā not for the chaos he became, but for the noble spirit he once was.
Absolutely over the moon to share that Iāve managed to rope in the same lovely people who performed at the Alorāel Spring Festival ! Hopefully we manage to make it a performance to remember!
But thatās not all!
Iām blown away by the gorgeous submissions to the #OCLunarFestival2025 art prompt - just look at these beautiful entries that people have already created in the spirit of the event!

Absolutely cannot wait for this event. Iām counting down the days to it. Been a while since Iāve been so excited about an event like that and the art that people have put out is beyond amazing and gorgeous!
Absolutely lovely! Now begins the question of which character to bring in this. 
Looking forward to this! 
I hope to participate in the art prompt as well, but so far Lunar Festival mog creation has claimed my time. Just oneā¦ moreā¦ mogā¦
That said I canāt wait to see peopleās festival outfits as well as the costume contest creations, itās going to be fancy! 
This, so much! Iām still figuring out the festival outfit for Kaitalosā¦
And agreed 
, the art is lovely, but I am equally hyped to see peopleās in-game transmogs for the event!
Edit: This year Iāve got another person helping me video record the event, so double the reason to dress up in your finest!
Iām home just in time for this 
Looks like itāll be great! Best of luck with a smooooth runninā!
Gonna try and make this, seems like the perfect chance to introduce Saerira as a character 
Hello! If it still possible to sign up with a stall Iād like too.

Hi! Iāll add your stall to the list today, thank you for signing up!
You mentioned Services in the stall type, does this mean your character is also open to unique crafting commissions? If so I could add a mention of it in the stall description!
Yes! she does do customs, rarely.
But she offers engravings on tags or any items, aswell as recycling but she probably wonāt bring that offered service at a festival.
The event is just around the corner, and behind the scenes, a flurry of preparations is unfolding! 
The updated activity map will be posted on Monday or Tuesday, with the Lunar Market stallholder spots assigned.
For those eager to toss and dodge, be sure to sign up using the provided format. Donāt forget that Out of Character, youāll need the Dazzling Rod toy to participate! Additionally, please join the in-game cross-faction community (TBA) for the duration of the tournament. This will make it easier to form cross-faction raid groups and keep things running smoothly.
If we have a big turnout, we might spice up the first round by having more than two players in the matches at the same time to keep the competition moving quickly and efficiently. Kindly arrive at the event by 20:15 ST to ensure we can begin the competition on time.
