"Noblegarden"

Noblegarden is an Easter event that takes place around April, where players can search for colored eggs hidden around the various starting zones.

The great feast of Noblegarden has long been celebrated by the races of the Alliance and recently adopted by those of the Horde. On this joyous day, it is customary for the nobles and lords from each race to hide coins, candy, and the occasional treasures within special eggs painted to look like wildflowers. These eggs are then scattered around the major cities for the citizenry to find. From heroes to commoners, and everyone in between - the feast of Noblegarden is meant to bring communities together to share the joy of life and friendship.

The next Noblegarden (2009) will take place April 26 to May 2nd due to the extension from a 24 hour event to a week long event.^[1]

Fun Stuff

For one week, players can find Brightly Colored Eggs scattered about the starting zones:

• Dun Morogh, Elwynn Forest, Teldrassil, and Azuremyst Isle for Alliance
• Durotar, Mulgore, Tirisfal Glades, and Eversong Woods for Horde

And in the Outland:

• In Terokkar Forest near the Shattrath gates

Beware: the eggs are smallish, not easy to see, uncommon and will take time to find.

The eggs will always contain one of the following:

• [Noblegarden Chocolate]
• [Brightly Colored Shell Fragment] (Quest Item)

...while one egg out of 100 (1%) will allegedly have one of these:

• [White Tuxedo Shirt]
• [Black Tuxedo Pants]
• [Easter Dress]
• [Elegant Dress]

There are no city decorations or barkers for the event, so one must usually rely on Blizzard's events calendar to find out the exact date. Traditionally, it's held on Easter Sunday. The 2009 Event was delayed to be updated with the 3.1 patch and has been announced to start on April 26 and end May 2.
Also see Blizzard's in-game events page for screen shots or updated info.
