Six Years and Counting! | ToonFest 2019
Posted by The Toontown Team on September 19, 2019 at 12:00 PM
Do you remember what happened six years ago today? For those unaware, Toontown Online closed its doors forever on September 19, 2013. For everyone at the time, this felt like the end. Over a decade of Toons, gone in an instant. If you can hardly remember that day, that means we've been successful.
For the past six years, we've turned September 19th from a day of sadness to a day of PARTYING! Moments after Toontown Online closed its doors, Toontown Rewritten was officially announced. As they say, the rest is history!
Six years is an incredible amount of time. It's a shame, but Toontown could have disappeared in an instant all those years ago. The fact that it has thousands of active players every month, a real-life convention, and a constantly evolving lore is absolutely insane! And yet, we're all still here, enjoying Toontown.
That's why we're inviting you to jump into Toontown between now and October 20th to party with us in celebration of Toontown Rewritten's sixth anniversary. Today marks the beginning of our annual in-game event, ToonFest 2019!
To enter ToonFest, head over to the special event area in Chip and Dale's Acorn Acres or click on the red ToonFest teleport button on the top right of your screen. Here's just a few of the things to expect during this year's event:
Meet Riggy Marole
If you haven't met Riggy Marole yet, you're in for a treat. He's the one and only host of ToonFest, and calling him absolutely bonkers would be an understatement. As always, he'll be strolling around ToonFest talking to Toons and generally being a bit of a rascally rabbit. Plus, if you stick around the Toontown Blog you might just catch him causing some mayhem. Who knows what he'll do next? We sure don't.
Earn Exclusive Prizes
One of the most exciting parts of ToonFest are glamorous Token Takers, located within the ToonFest tower and at pop-up booths around the area! These Token Takers will sell you all sorts of exclusive items, from limited time accessories to portable pies to experience multipliers! No matter what kind of Toon you are, we've got a bunch of prizes in store for you. Earn ToonFest tokens by playing minigames in the area, then head on over to the ToonFest tower to redeem them.
Pink is the new Blue
As always, ToonFest is more than just one weekend. We'll be partying all day and all night for the next month -- and we'll definitely need some new style to mix things up this year. ToonFest Blue has been a staple of ToonFest for years -- but it's clear that ToonFest needs a little more... pink. That's right, some keen-eyed Toons may have noticed it in the Clothing Shops last night, but ToonFest Pink is here! For just 300 ToonFest Tokens, you too can hop on the latest ToonFest fashion trend. But that's not all -- we're also introducing the exclusive Rigmarole Nametag for 500 ToonFest Tokens! Named after ToonFest's zany host, Rigmarole is the perfect way to celebrate ToonFest even after the event is over.
As always, ToonFest is now available to play by visiting the special event area in Chip and Dale's Acorn Acres, or by clicking the red ToonFest teleport button located at the top right of your screen. Go enjoy the fun before it's gone!
Thank you all so much for SIX YEARS of Toontown Rewritten! We truly couldn't be here without all of you.
You ARE Toon Enough!

How exciting. I want to be pink! Let’s go party. ? ?
I've been here since 2014 and I just wanted to say y'all have done an AMAZING job of keeping this game up. I honestly forgot that TTO went away once I joined TTR. Six years is such an amazing milestone. I am so ready to PARTY!!!
Time to start the token grind!
I'm so excited!!!
THANK YOU TTR! Been following the site and playing for these 6 toontastic years. If this game didn't exist I would have never found the love of my life. She makes me happy every day <3
Six years... Amazing. Thank you so much for not just keeping an integral part of my childhood alive, but for continuing to develop it and make it an integral part of the life I now live. Amen
Love this part of the year.
I have been playing since 2014. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to play this toontastic game. I remember the day I started playing Toontown Rewritten like it was yesterday. Happy Toonfest 2019 everyone!
I been here on Six Years when i remember it was open-beta
yay toonfest is back!
I'm gonna buy everything
Soooo excited for my first ToonFest! ?
I started my TT journey way back in 2010, and when TTO closed, I felt like I had lost my best friend AND my favorite game. Thank you so much TTR, for bringing back something so important and special. It's been an honor playing so far. Happy Toonfest!
So excited for toonfest. I hope the Hypno Goggles accessory will be available this year!
Welp it look like I'm going from green to blue
Toonfest Pink and Rigmarole Name tag look good, but what I'm most interested in is that Riggy Marole REMODEL (Not In Game, the one used in the Picture lol)
Yay! I'm happy that they're back for more fun!!
time to start grinding tokens :D
My sister and I have been playing TTO since 2008 and we miss the old Toontown, but I'm glad that you guys kept on going and were listening to other toons ideas and such. I love the Toonfests because we get to run around and chase tokens and get rewards and new colors for 300 tokens. I'm going to go get some tokens now, bye!
Exciting new update!
I've been waiting for this day all month long! Thank you TTR Team :)
I'm ready to farm tokens!!
*insert train noise* BADA BADA BA BA BUM
That fateful day 6 years ago, so many of us were waiting in one of the TTC playgrounds - waiting for TTO's plug to be pulled. I'd been playing for 7 years and part of my life seemed to end that day. Then came TTR and that part came back and has been with me ever since. A giant "thank you" to all who made TTR possible. Love you forever xxxxx
TOONFEST PINK!!! YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH TTR TEAM! HAPPY TOONFEST TO EVERYONE!
I just Luved the past toon fests. I also luv spending time with my fellow toons in the pre toon fest. Haha that was so much fun. We always stay in front of the grounds for like 6 hours waiting lol
yes!!!!!!!!!! So hype for toon fest and i just cant wait to party! Even tho the new pink looks just like rose pink also my toon is rose pink but i gotta try the color out on an other toon. But i cant wait to party!
Fun times...once I figure out how to play!
Cool! I can't believe Toontown Rewritten has been here for 6 years! Keep on truckin' toons!
Time flies when you're having fun, I love Toonfest <3 Here's to 6 years & many more! :) Now... Let's celebrate!!
Cool. It's always nice to participate in ToonFest. :)
It was crazy being there when Toonfest opened.
Nice!
Lovely, lovely! Toonfest is back! Time to grind, grind and grind!
Are there gonna be new prizes coming out after or are these the prizes that will stay throughout the entire ToonFest? I know lots of people that want new prizes to come out. Please definitely let us know :)
That sad day 6 years ago literally had me crying. Toontown, over the years, from Disney days - to Rewritten has brought over a decade of family gaming time together, and creating life-long friendships all over the world. Thank you for bringing it back, keeping it going, and for all you do to keep the fun going!
I remember when I was 7 and me and my brother had to wait for our alpha key so we could try out the new toontown.. we were so sad about toontown online closing and were so excited when we heard about this! CONGRATS ON 6 YEARS WOOOO!
happy toonfest!
I've been playing since tto's release, then ttr's, but this is the first toonfest I've been able to attend. I'm excited!
Toontown was a big part of my childhood. I'm so happy that you turned this day of sadness into a celebration. from the bottom of my toony heart, I thank you.
legit glad toontown is still alive and well!
yay! happy toonfest
YA-HA-HOO!!! Let's go!!! :D
cant wait!
WOW AMAZING
I liked being spooky purple, but i missed being Toonfest blue! and now I'm Toonfest blue again and have the cool new nametag! Also, i got my drop up to level 5 in a short time with the 2x XP boost in a cog invasion (4x XP)! hoping to get my other gags up further :D
This makes me so happy! Thanks for all the effort on making and mantaining Toontown alive!
Happy six years! I've played this game for 15 years and counting, glad to see it still alive! It would be great to add a timer somewhere for the merry multipliers to know exactly how much time you have left!
I think I know what color I’m going to be now!
best time of the year love it
I played this game since last month and I love it!
Woohoo! Time to start grinding tokens for rewards again!
