Moonfire Faire Returns to FFXIV August 12 Through August 26
The Moonfire Faire, Final Fantasy XIV Online's recurring summer seasonal event, runs from August 12 to August 26, 2026. The event is set along the sandy shores of Costa del Sol and features fireworks and festive street decorations as its backdrop.
What's involved
Players begin by accepting the quest "Earning Your Water Wings" from Mayaru Moyaru in Limsa Lominsa, Upper Deck (X:11.5, Y:13.8).
A minimum character level of 30 is required to start the quest.
Rewards from previous iterations of the Moonfire Faire are available for purchase through Moonfire Faire vendors; the announcement directs players to a dedicated special site for the full item listing.
The source does not detail the specific rewards on offer this year, nor does it describe new quests or activities beyond the entry quest.
For players who missed cosmetic items in prior years, the vendor availability of past-event goods is the most practically useful detail in this announcement.
