Ewoks, hearts, love, festival? It might sound like a lot to digest, but don't fret! We encourage all of our New and Returning players to read up everything they need in our Friday Feature on Exploring The Ewok Festival of Love right here. There you can learn all about the entire overview of the in-game quests you can do (daily and non-daily), some of the rewards still available from previous years celebrations, and more! So read up and hopefully be less overwhelmed!
What all is returning from previous iterations of Ewok Festival of Love?
That sweet Ewok tradition brings with it many of the past years rewards. Speaking with the vendor in the celebration areas of Kadaara, Tyrena, and Southern Ewok Lake Village will reveal that you can still purchase many of the paintings, wearable items, furnishings, and much more that has filled the list in previous years! There are lots of old goodies available to all, even if this is you first Ewok Festival of Love experience!

Ewok Festival of Love 2022 Live Events:
The Duloks of Endor have been busy since the last Ewok Festival of Love ended. Through malice and spite, hate and jealousy, these mischievous cousins of the beloved Ewoks have been forging weapons and terrifying new armor, gritting their teeth for this moment to strike. With the aid of Mister Hate and his disgraced flock of flying Ewoks, the dulok threat has reached new levels and they're prepared to strike at any time and any place in the galaxy.
This Ewok Festival of Love, prepare to face some of the strongest and most battle hardened of Duloks as they join the forces of hate to bring menace and sorrow to our treasured Ewok tradition! These new armored versions of Dulok should NOT be underestimated!
Are your hearts racing? Ours too! We're Chasing Love again in one of our Ewok Festival of Love community favorites. This Speederbike race is not meant for the faint of heart. Stay tuned soon for event details so you don't miss out on this riveting race!
Imperial reconnaissance missions have been an every day occurrence on the forest moon of Endor. Countless Ewoks have been ran down by patrolling Scout Troopers and stomped on by enemy walkers. It's been a bleak time for the Ewoks, but as the losses mount, their spirits endure - Chief Chirpa has rallied his furry friends to be ready to help defend their traditions by any means necessary to show Imperial troops that they have no fear and only love in their hearts. All throughout Ewok Festival of Love, there will be alerts to the next big battle happening on the planet Endor.
Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all? Maybe, but not for a certain poor soul this Ewok Festival of Love. A heartbroken young man has seemingly given up on his quest for love, thinking themselves worthy for no one. It's time to rally around for the sake of love and acceptance and help this individual turn things around. What better way to do that than a fun afternoon fishing?! There's plenty of fish in the sea after all right?! Stay tuned for coming announcements for this fishing event heading your way very soon!
The Galactic Civil War they say is a battle for the hearts and minds of an entire galaxy.. Well this Ewok Festival of Love, there's a continuing battle between Mr. Love and Mister Hate for the heart, mind, and soul of our favorite furry Festival of Love friend, Peaches! Are you prepared to become a champion of love in order to save the day and save Peaches?
We'll be sharing even more Ewok Festival of Love event details and Community Contest details as EFoL22 moves along, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled and ears open for future announcements!
Getting into the spirit:
