Community Events March 11th-17th

This week’s featured event:

Thursday’s Bird & Baby Yard Party will be a little greener than usual as they take the opportunity to celebrate Bullroarer Took Day (a holiday with striking similarities to St. Patrick’s Day), March 17th at 3:30pm EST/7:30pm GMT on Laurelin.  The Bramblebury Gazette has put out a call for poets who would like to share their verse and music honouring the hero of the Battle of the Greenfields.  The Party will head from its usual spot out to Brockenborings.  The program includes a toast to Bullroarer, traditional music from the Greenbrambles, poetry, a re-enactment of the Battle of the Greenfields, and a performance from the Little Wanderers.  The stage is then open to any who wish to perform.


Daylight Savings Time takes effect in most of the US on Sunday, but Europe will not switch their clocks for another two weeks (please note that the original version of this post did not include the proper time correction).  After Sunday, all events are listed in Eastern Daylight Time (-4 GMT)/server time, but an additional time zone is listed for EU server events.  You may add events or post corrections in the comments section, but the fastest and best way to get it on this page is to submit a form.  I’m always open to feedback and suggestions, both here and through the submissions form, so let me know if there’s something we should feature.  Thanks for reading!

There will be a special post about next weekend’s Day on the Greenfields Music Festival and Bullroarer Took Day Pub Crawl on Thursday, so today I’d like to look at three other events that will be coming this Spring.  On April 20th Muddy Foot Day returns to Crickhollow.  Come to the Party Tree for a night of entertainment and the best music the Shire can provide.  The Spring Racing Carnival returns to Landroval on May 14th.  The top three from each of the qualifying races will face off for the Eriador Championship Cup.  Entertainment includes a rodeo clown show, barrel racing, formation riding, and music from Notenzauber, The Remediators, and other fine bands.  Shirefest moves to June this year–look for much more information soon on Crickhollow’s biggest annual event.

Community Events: March 4th-10th

This week’s featured event:

This Saturday four great bands will face off in a battle to determine which one can play the cheesiest music.  Join them at the Thorin’s Hall Festival Arena 4pm EST (9pm GMT) on Laurelin for the Great Schnulz’athlon, two hours of tacky tunes and schmaltzy songs from Die Mondbarden, Instant Play, A Rock and a Hard Place, and members of a fourth band that’s far too dignified for this sort of thing (but still could not help but take part).

Two big events are coming up on the weekend of March 19-20.  The Day on the Greenfields Music Festival returns to Landroval that Saturday and Sunday from noon-midnight each day, with a special three hour block of Lord of the Rings specific music from 6pm-9pm on Saturday.  Slots filled up swiftly and nearly 2 dozen bands are scheduled to perform.

Crickhollow’s Second Breakfast will host their 6th annual Bullroarer Took Day Pub Crawl on Sunday the 20th.  This time it won’t just be drinking and music–though there will be plenty of both to go around–they’ll be holding a different contest at every pub.  They’ve partnered with Gwinlynn to hold a special costume competition and this will be followed by a brew-a-thon, pub trivia, and a scavenger hunt.  Elevenses will end at noon and the group will then head to Hobbiton’s Ivy Bush and hit every pub in the Shire, ending at Bywater’s Green Dragon Inn for a closing party.  Look for more details soon.

Community Events: February 19-25

This week’s featured event:

Laurelin is now home to the Bramblebury Library and Crafting Centre, set to open its doors on February 20th.  This new facility will allow residents and visitors to grow crops, forge tools, shape wooden furniture, and cook.  The chests inside include a collection of maps and books that will be available to all.  All hobbits are welcome to join the grand opening celebration at 7:30pm UK time (2:30pm EST).  Music will be played, refreshments will be served, tours will be given, and a wonderful time will naturally be had by all.


All events are listed in Eastern Standard Time (-5 GMT)/server time, but an additional time zone is listed for EU server events.  You may add events or post corrections in the comments section, but the fastest and best way to get it on this page is to submit a form.  I’m always open to feedback and suggestions, both here and through the submissions form, so let me know if there’s something we should feature.  Thanks for reading!

News sources:

This listing brings together information from numerous sources around the LOTRO world, and I’d like to focus on one of those sources today.  Auenländer Wochenblatt gives a roundup of all the Belegaer news every week.  It’s a fascinating look at events on the German language RP server that has grown to include additional sections for travelogues and poetry.   The screenshots are always lovely to look at no matter what language you speak.
