Watch the “What’s Happening” feature to view the current high bid. At the end of an hour of bidding, the winners will receive their goods and a new round of bidding will open shortly after.

Several never before released goods will be available at the auction, and you can be one of the few to get your hands on them! And best of all, all proceeds will go to the scale of good.

Happy 4th of July islanders!

Only July 4th, 1776, the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. To celebrate the holiday, Elf Island has released the USA Firecracker in the Holiday Curio. This limited time good is only available to members and in the store until July 5th.

The Confetti Firecracker will also be rereleased as a Host prize until July 5th, so make sure to participate in the daily Host events for your chance to win one!

We’re encouraging elves all across the island to throw their very own July 4th Parties! Dress in your best red, white and blue outfit and stop in the Wingdome to purchase everything you’ll need for your own 4th of July weekend cookout. The Elf Island Hosts will also be on the lookout for these July 4th Parties. Between July 3rd and July 5th, the Hosts will be visiting player’s islands, passing out a red, white or blue balloon to players.

See you on the island!
