Everyone knows that the Darkmoon Faire stops in the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, but did you ever wonder where they go for the other three weeks of every month? Upper Deck Entertainment’s Darkmoon Faire TM will make its first stop in Europe on May 12-13 at Darkmoon Faire TM Frankfurt!


The Darkmoon Faire itself will host World of Warcraft ® TCG tournaments for all levels, with prizes including iPods, portable DVD players, and high-end gaming computers! Haven’t tried the WoW ® TCG yet? No problem! Events will be available for all levels of players, with prizes for all. In addition to all the WoW ® TCG fun, you can come and check out the World of Warcraft ® MMO. After spending your days immersed in WoW ® TCG activities, hit the town and see all that Frankfurt has to offer!






Darkmoon Faire isn’t just a TCG tournament, but an event. Each stop during the year is a celebration of all things WoW, giving MMO and TCG players a place to hang out, play, compete, and meet up with friends, guildmates and friends from across the country.

Arriving from the main railway station:

It is approximately a ten minute walk to the Congress Center. Please go down Düsseldorfer Strasse and cross the Platz der Republik until you come to Friedrich-Ebert Anlage. This will take you past the Messeturm and on to Ludwig-Erhard Anlage directly in front of the Congress Center
The U4 tube will also take you from the main station to the Festhalle/Messe tube station in only a few minutes. Once in the tube station, please follow the signs for the "Messe". You will come out at the City entrance, from where it is only a short walk around the Messeturm to the Congress Center.
