The Midsummer Fire Festival

This Fanart won a spot in the World of Warcraft 2011 Calendar Contest. And was featured in ImagineFX Magazine a few years ago.

Midsummer Fire Festival is the hottest season of the year! It is a time of celebration during the real world summer solstice. Festival bonfires light brightly across Azeroth, Outland, and Northerend and compel visitors to join in the activities and to pay tribute to the spirits of summer.

Ragnaros exalts the festivities with a barbequed Gigantic Feast! Battle rouge elemental spirits blazon in a energizing dance upon his sizzling grill. Toasting Fresh Smorc's upon Ragnaros fire are welcome, but keep safe distance to reduce chance of taking burn damage.
