It says a return of the Festival Games (and Dragon arena) that were around during the Dragon Festival, not a return of the Dragon Festival itself. That is an annual event.
liorfine
perhaps Jade Wind Orbs will start drop this week?
or maybe another version of it?

Maybe it's time for Anet to pop in Rujiyo again, for some real awards this time.

The Scribe says nothing about Masks or Jade orbs just Carnival and Dragon Arena.

Also keep in mind that the requirements for the maximum Ranks for these titles have been lowered. (1 mil tickets for Rank 5 Lucky, and 500,000 losses for Max Unlucky).
Of course, you'll assassinate your wallet either way. But these will assist in the acquisition of the "People Know Me" title.
3 Cartographer Titles, 3 Protector Titles, Max Rank Lucky, Max Rank Unlucky, and Incorrigble-Ale Hound would put you at 9. Plus, Nightfall promises several new titles.

Dragon festival?Again?Not very original is it?
Vilaptca
Its just the festival games coming. Not the whole event. You can't really have two Dragon Festivals in one year now can you? Shiro didn't create the Jade Wind twice in one year.
Former Ruling
This is just a clever way of saying "next weeks event is Dragon Games again".

Festival Games to Return to Shing Jea Monastery
I have received word of the most exciting news! If you were in attendance at the Dragon Festival—the annual celebration commemorating the survival of the Empire of the Dragon after the devastating Jade Wind—you will no doubt remember the extremely popular festival games that were held just outside the Shing Jea Monastery. According to my superiors at the monastery, those games will soon return for a short time, opening to the public in a little more than a week.
This is especially exciting for those who have been seeking the "Lucky" title, as well as those confused individuals who wish to earn the infamous "Unlucky" title, despite the cost and shame associated with it. Many have desired these titles for months and, without any games-of-chance to play, have been unable to make progress. This pleasant surprise is certain to be well received among title seekers.
Along with the return of the carnival games comes the reopening of the Dragon Arena. This competitive venue was extremely popular during the Dragon Festival, and fondly remembered in the following months. Offering atypical combat that forgoes the normal weapons and spells of war, the Dragon Arena appeals to the extremely competitive as well as to those simply seeking a good time.
When the games and arena open just over a week from now, they'll be available for a few days, so be sure and set aside some time to visit the Shing Jea Monastery and check out the festivities before they're gone again. Perhaps we will run into each other while enjoying the fun!
I liked the games of chance and the arena, but the true fun was the event itself and the mini-missions that ensued. I wonder if they will allow any orbs won to be traded in for a mask, or if that aspect is gone?

saphir

Games of chance and Dragon Arena? Yay! Yay yay yay yay yay yay! Seems to me that Cantha gets gaming days while Tyria gets Halloween fun. Shhhhhhhooooooopeerrrrrrrrrr!
Sir Skullcrasher
So.... why is the dragon festival back again? I'm confused that shiro only did this event once (killing the emperor and starting this whole mess in Cantha) Unless it's like that movie Caddyshack where Shiro turn back time and kill the emperor again and again and again!

a shameless ploy to get more people back into the game...
right about now alot of people are getting bored with the game due to Factions being so short that it didn't keep people's interest for very long. And when people get bored of the game chances are they won't buy the next. From what I saw in the Nightfall preview I won't buy it, it just seems as if there isn't enough new stuff.
And it also seems to me that Anet is running out of idea for special event weekends... why they started them in the first place, see above paragraph. Every weekend the amount of players probably quadruples when they have an event.
So, that being said... this is one of the more retarded things I've seen. I was thinking there would be 'games of chance' during the halloween event, and the x-mas event, and maybe even valentines day and st. patricks day. We don't have to bring back the games for no apparent reason. There are plenty of holidays, do it during one of them.

Wow... they bring back the games to help people with their title and people still find reasons to complain.... *unreal* I feel sorry for some of you who just never can be happy.
To clear up a few things, it's the games not the festival itself.
It's not news that Tyria is not getting the events so get over it. Or yeah don't buy Nightfall... then when all the events move over to there you'll have even more reason to complain. der

And if you dont like the games you dont have to play them you know. Other people like them. Again, go rant somewhere else.

Arenanet listens to its customers and complies.
People complain.
What?
Also, I'm just happy about the return of Dodgeball. Good god that's addictive.
Sir Skullcrasher
The main point to make out of this folks... is that A-Net listen to us rather than leave us alone and bored to death playing factions!

Caddyshack is the one about Golf.
Bill Murry is in both.Back on subject: Money sink to titles yeah.....

I just hope they’re not planning on having the Dragon Festival in lieu of a Halloween event. 
achilles ankle
seems ok i guess...as long as they dont mess up and ban a bunch of people who where just trying to play the games. oh and PLZ DEAR GOD no more jade wind orbs and if they do have em give us something worth while.
Navaros
Woulda been nice if they gave more notice about this coming back so as people could save enough money to max the titles. I got up to tier 3 of both titles last time and had I known this was coming I woulda spent time making money so that they can be maxed out this time around. One week isn't enough time to make that much money.

Any place can have a festival in real life simply because they want a festival dont they? The Carnival at our local mall didnt come for any specific events, But came just because they came. Nice and simple
Sir Skullcrasher
So is this dragon festival event a week long event like last time or only 2 to 3 days?
rxtracid
Dodeball!? How I dodge PLZ? <---noob
Rathcail
So if it's green weekend on this week, my guess is that the festival games are for next week's weekend event.
After that it's Nightfall.

I only read the first page, but it seems there are those out there that don't realize that this is going to be the weekend event for next weekend.
To which I say - meh, whatever.
