    The witches festival is considered a Halloween event, they did it for 3 years but this time it's not a month long.

    Witches Festival happens to coincide with Halloween this year but lore wise it is on the 13th October
    It only happened last year for the first time and it definitely wasn't for a month.

    But in answer to your question it is this coming Friday till the 1st Nov :)

    In 2015 they only had some spooky costumes in the store not an actual event. The witches festival event with plunder skulls etc only happened in 2016 for the first time :)

    Gotta get your head in the Lore. In Tamriel it's not Halloween, it's the Witches Festival. ;)

    Where is the official notice that it starts this Friday? Last I heard was Gina Bruno stating they would announce it early next week.

    They announced the Halloween event will start on the 20th.

    And yes, I'm calling it a Halloween event, because saying it's not is just silly. It's kind of like releasing an expansion and saying it's not an expansion, it's a "chapter." LOL. Different name for the same thing.

    So lore-wise it doesn't even hit the right date. Yup, its a Halloween event.

    He was speaking to Halloween does not exist in Tamriel. That is a holiday on a planet located in a galaxy far, far away.

    Zos tends to make announcements on events close to their start date.
    Really, idk

    I kinda agree only time I hate it if it involves dungeons, the enemies are getting killed too quickly and you don't get drops or xp.

    Yeah, but it's eso the salt free version pretty much. All I know I see a really nice change during these events. :)
