Ready or not, here we come! The STRANGLETHORN BONFIRE BASH is back for its sixth year on July 23rd & 24th! Join Obasi and Poeful for another summer with two days packed full of games, refreshments, and cross-faction camaraderie!
And if you're eager to show your team spirit before the Bash, Obasi and Poe will be hosting MAX and RELAX themed pre-party events to get everyone into gear before the big weekend! Dates TBA! Will you SPORT with Team MAX or SPA with Team RELAX?
The STVBB Art Fight is returning!
Pick a team, choose your look, and stay tuned for more information at the start of June! The concept of the Art Fight dates back to 2007, started by user Blankit. While we are not directly associated with their yearly competition, we thank them for inspiring our own community Art Fight!
Our events and locations for the two days of festivities are below the cut. As usual, be sure to use the #STVBB tag to share your writing and art!
Day 1: Friday, July 23rd 4:00 PM server time
🏁 Ever heard of carp calisthenics? Prepare to get educated at the Hundred-Meter Flop, a race where the fastest fish wins! ⛱️ Work together with your fellow beachgoers to construct fantastic sandcastles! 🐠 Don’t forget our yearly Bassball tournament and its lucrative prize pool!
Day 2: Saturday, July 24th 4:00 PM server time
🌊 Maxing and relaxing surfers rejoice! The troll sport of He’thraze -- and its prizes! -- are open to both teams. 🎨 Take aim in Warpaint and splat your way to team victory! 🍉 The illustrious title of “Melonbane” will once again be up for grabs this year at our melon-crushing contest. The catch? You can only use your thighs!
As the days drift away from the scene of our summer fun, let us not forget the friends and family we found on the great sunlit shores of Stranglethorn Vale. Presenting the @stranglethorn-bonfire-bash's Party Turtle! A collaboration between nearly 50 of this year's art fight participants.

And a special thanks to RAGEWANG for providing the original Party Turt sketch that was used as a base for the collab!
Fun idea I had between us meta modding/and or LAN partying with our beach bash characters between Rage/Obasi, Buttart/Poeful, Meeg/Aurellia, Xellandria/Xella and me (Karth) HNNN
Here's all of my submissions for this year's STVBB Art Fight! I got to draw loads of amazing characters and had a pretty good excuse to learn how to paint water. The only characters that belong to me are Lindsey, Bluma, and Silevina.
I can't wait for the next one, this was so so wonderful to take part in!!! Tysm to the hosts for managing everything so well!
