World of Warcraft Holiday Event Achievements: Midsummer Fire Festival

The World of Warcraft Midsummer Fire Festival lasts for two weeks in late June of each year. It's a celebration of the hottest season of the year, with special quests, food, buffs, and interesting toys for purchase. Like all holiday events, the Fire Festival has a set of WoW achievements all its own.

Earn the "Ice the Frost Lord" achievement by slaying special boss Ahune during the festival. The "Burning Hot Pole Dance" achievement is awarded to those who dance at a ribbon pole for 60 seconds while wearing the complete Midsummer clothing set.

To get the "King of the Fire Festival" achievement, complete the quest "A Thief's Reward" by removing the flames from each of the capital cities belonging to the opposite faction. The final miscellaneous achievement, "Torch Juggler," is awarded for juggling 40 torches in 15 seconds within the city of Dalaran.
