Last year, for one weekend near Halloween, the land of Istaria celebrated the Fall Festival. This was a ‘trick or treat’ event where players could visit various NPCs, some of which would give them special candy, which in turn could be exchanged for masks. The Fall Festival is an annual event now; this is its second year of celebration, and it has become a much larger event. The Festival now lasts four weeks and has tons of side quests, unique items, special festival grounds, and a high-end boss in addition to the old traditions.

The Fall Festival grounds are located between the human city of Dalimond and the draconic city of Chiconis. The area is decorated with uncarved pumpkins and other half-constructed decorations; the players have to help make sure the area is set up and decorated. NPCs (in costume, even) wait in tents to sell unique and new foods/recipes, as well as give special quests. The area is also inhabited by spooky spiders, ghosts, and other halloweeny villains. Also in the Fall Festival area is a crypt where more NPCs wander. When you interact with them, they tell ghost stories written and submitted by Horizons players.
