They generally occur once every year and last for 2 to 3 weeks.
They are accompanied by themed Title and Loading Screens, Lobbies, Props, and Cosmetics and often unlock previous Event Unlockables or add new ones.
They also generally introduce a new optional Gameplay element and feature a special Event Tome.

Trivia
- In the Summer of 2018, there was a unique Summer Event called the Scorching Summer BBQ 2018.
Unfortunately, it remained a one-off for the next five years until it was announced during the Seventh Year Anniversary, that it would finally return in August of 2023.
- The original Event featured Hooks turned into make-shift grills and Generators turned into slushy-machines, which were well-beloved by the Community at the time.
The Gameplay mechanics were identical to the Howling Grounds Lunar Event earlier that same year.
