 The Lunar Festival is held every year starting on a date that typically coincides with the Chinese New Year. 2011's Lunar Festival will run from January 23 - February 13. The festival is celebrated by the druids of Moonglade with great fireworks and festive attire. Ancestors of Azeroth are praised and honored by both Horde and Alliance, who then reward players with reputation and Coin of Ancestry that can be used to purchase festive garb, patterns and fireworks!

Lunar Fireworks
Start & End: Lunar Festival Harbinger
To complete this quest you must purchase fireworks from a nearby Lunar Festival Vendor and use them nearby. The large fireworks clusters (such as Blue Rocket Cluster) will require use of a firework launcher, which can be found on the ground around the main Lunar Festival camps. Simply purchase and fire off the specified quantity of fireworks and return the quest to pick up the follow-up. You will receive a Lunar Festival Invitation which can be used to teleport to Moonglade by using it while standing in the 'Greater Moonlight' (a huge, white beam of light located in the main Festival camps). Once in Moonglade, you can teleport back to any major faction city by standing in the correct beam (which are distinguished by racial revelers around each beam). This invitation does have a duration but you can get a new one from the Lunar Festival Harbinger at any time during the festival.

Valadar Starsong
Start: Lunar Festival Harbinger
End: Valadar Starsong
Upon arriving in Moonglade, seek out Valadar Starsong who is located at [53.2, 35.3] on the northeastern platform overlooking Lake Elune'ara. He will welcome you to Moonglade and the Lunar Festival celebration and starts some new quests. Completion of this quest may be a prereq for his following quests.

Elune's Blessing
Start & End: Valadar Starsong
 This quest is actually flagged as a 'Raid' quest in-game, though it shouldn't take very many level 60 or higher players at all to complete. Simply purchase (or acquire through quests or crafting) some rocket clusters from a Lunar Festival Vendor and head down to the Stormrage Barrow Dens in Moonglade (Southeast of Lake Elune'ara). Fire off the fireworks in the nearby cluster launchers to alert the Minions of Omen to your presence. You can use the Elune's Candle obtained from Elune's Candle or purchased for 10 silver from Valadar Starsong to do additional damage to the Minions and Omen himself. Continue firing off rockets and defeating the Minions and eventually the demon Omen will spawn. He is a ?? raid boss so his actual level will most likely be 3 levels higher than the average level of your raid group. Even still, he is not a very difficult boss (detailed information on fighting him can be found here). Upon defeating Omen, you must be near his corpse to obtain the Elune's Blessing buff required to complete the quest. Receive the buff and return to Valadar to complete the quest, which rewards the nifty Elune's Lantern which can turn Solid Stone into Elune Stone - not amazing, but still pretty cool!
Festival Coin of Ancestry Redemption
In previous years, Coin of Ancestry were turned in via quests for festive rewards. In 2009, however, Valadar Starsong and Fariel Starsong in Moonglade now serve as vendors selling items using the Coin of Ancestry as currency. All of the items they sell are now Bind of Pickup. While you can obtain a maximum of 75 Coin of Ancestry per year, they have no duration so if you have some left over from a previous year's Festival you can use them to obtain more rewards.

Honoring the Elders
 In the 2011 Lunar Festival, there are 75 elders located throughout all of Azeroth and Northrend. Finding and honoring an elder (by completing an available quest) will reward you with 75 main faction reputation (with all Horde or all Alliance factions) and a Coin of Ancestry, which can be used as a currency to purchase festival-related items from questgivers in Moonglade. Honoring every elder will grant you 75 Coin of Ancestry and a total of 5625 reputation with all of your major city factions! You will also receive a Lucky Red Envelope from each elder via in-game mail, containing either a Lucky Rocket Cluster or Elder's Moonstone - so prepare for the mailbox spam! The Lucky Rocket Cluster can then be fired from a cluster launcher to gain the Lunar Fortune buff!
There are achievements obtainable by finding and honoring all of the elders in a particular area. This list is sorted via the achievement zones in order to make working on each achievement in an area easier. It's also worth mentioning that because of some dungeon level requirements, lower level characters may not be able to visit all Elders. Because of the inclusion of a Wrath of the Lich King Heroic dungeon Elder this year, the minimum level to honor every elder is 80.
Festival Goodies
The Lunar Festival brings an assortment of exclusive items available for purchase from vendors in Moonglade and major capital cities.
 The Lunar Festival Vendor found at any major Lunar Festival camp sells an assortment of fireworks, as well an alcoholic beverage with an interesting side-effect!
 The two Coin of Ancestry Collectors in Moonglade, Valadar Starsong and Fariel Starsong, allow you to exchange Coin of Ancestry for a variety of items.
