Heroes' Festival Timeline

__TOC__
The Heroes' Festival was introduced to the game on November 24, 2009 to commemorate the fifth, and subsequent, year's anniversaries that have passed since the Refuge Islands first began collecting those lost in the turbulent oceans. Celebrators, happy to share in the festivities, can be found in North and South Qeynos or West and South Freeport.
Heroes Festival 2012 is a live event that is scheduled to run from 12:01am PST on November 27, 2012 through 11:59pm PST on December 11, 2012. Dates from Kaitheel on the forums.
