March 26 to April 2: Run, Varesa!

This is a small Community Event where you can do certain activities to earn 30 primogems. As you can read from the title, it's about the newest character Varesa.

March 26 to April 8: A "Tranquil" Day

At the same time, there's also a Web Event to complete. You can earn up to 80 primogems by completing it.

March 28 to April 14: Tournament of Glory in Bloom

Genshin Impact typically sticks to its usual formula, kicking off with the biggest events early to give players plenty of time to get all if the rewards. The main event of version 5.5, Tournament of Glory in Bloom, begins on March 28. You have 17 days to complete it.

It's an event about a returning competition with offensive and defensive versions of battles. There's also a 2D board game-like mode. Rewards include the four-star character Ororon and the usual character and weapon materials, Crown of Insight, and primogems. You can already start pre-farming for Ororon since he was released last year and all of the materials are already available.

April 14 to April 21: Unlimited Fighting Championship 

On the last day of the main event, another one starts: the Unlimited Fighting Championship. It's a simple battle event where you can test other characters. The rewards include primogems, ascension materials, and talent materials, similar to the other events.

April 14 to April 21: Overflowing Favor

In this event, players can get double rewards by completing the talent domains and claiming the rewards with the original resin. It's the perfect event for those struggling to level up their characters and a great opportunity for free-to-play folks to gather more materials.

April 21 to May 2: Quirky Quaking Arena

The Quirky Quaking event is a co-op one where you and your friends or other players have to collect Adventure Coins in different arenas.

April 28 to May 6: Rhythm Ball Meztli

Finally, this is the last event of version 5.5. It's a music festival featuring the People of the Springs tribe in Natlan, with a bonus appearance from Xilonen. The gameplay consists of the familiar Peggle-like mini-game seen in previous events.
