Community Events December 25th-31st

A very happy Yule, fabulous Festivus, and cheery Christmas to all who celebrate!  This week’s listing runs from Christmas Day through to New Year’s Eve, so some regular events will not be taking place.  I expect that this will include some activities that are listed on the calendar.  Once again, if you see an event listed that will be cancelled this week or next, please let me know.  Thanks!


This week’s featured events:

Hobbits have been gathering together in Bywater every Friday since May of 2008 for Green Dragon Friday.  The event starts at 3pm EST/8pm UK time on the Laurelin server and goes on for however long folks would like to stick around, which is generally two hours.  All chat is in character, though the focus is on songs and poems rather than long conversations.  This Friday may be a bit quieter than usual due to the holiday, but the party will go on!  Come to Green Dragon Inn for Mulled Cider, a 3 course menu, news, and Yule stories, poems, songs, and riddles.

 

GD001-3_copy_0

 

Gwinlynn became well-known on Firefoot for her special cosmetic contests, and to Crickhollow’s delight she brought the event with her when she transferred.  The theme will be Yule for this month’s contest, starting at 3pm on December 27th.  Dulcet Tones will be back as musical performers.  The contest should be taking place in Frostbluff, so attendees may need to contact someone in order to change layers.


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!

A look back:

Looking at The Starry Mantle’s latest outfit made me long to see more.  The Yule festival category is filled with outfits to inspire (and to steal, not that your humble hobbit reporter would ever do anything like that…cough, cough).  The archives go all the way back to 2011–good luck with not falling down that rabbit hole, because time does fly by when you’re looking at the lovely cosmetics.

Official Winter Events Schedule:

The Yule festival has returned!  This year’s new items are a shield that is worn as a back item and two hooded mantles that go on the shoulder slot, as well as the customary festival mount.

 

Community Events December 11th-17th

This week’s highlight events:

This week we feature three Yule events from three different servers.  The great news is that the schedule works out perfectly–the most intrepid travelers won’t have to miss a moment!

Crickhollow hosts Winterfest, a 2 day music event featuring a dozen bands playing their best Yuletide songs plus a few surprises.   The music scene on the server has exploded since Shirefest, so come and dance to new bands, bands that have just moved to Crickhollow, and ones you already know and love.  The show will take place at Thorin’s Gate in the fields to the southeast of Thorin’s Hall.  Friday features Breakfast Club, DisEnchanted, and Misty Mountain Hobs starting at 8pm EST.  On Saturday from noon-4pm Winterfest will welcome Struck by Moonlight, Little Wanderers, Dulcet Tones, Fraggle Rock, Lollipops, A Rock and a Hard Place, Lag Spike, and Bunny Patrol.

Winerfest Poster_Photo6756Mid

On Landroval the Parade of Lights will start with welcoming music at the Prancing Pony stage at 4:45pm EST on Saturday, December 12th.  All attendees will light their lanterns at 5pm and make their way down to the Windy Acres Ranch at 9 Chestnut Street, Raglan, Bree-land homesteads.  Once the group arrives it will be time for music from the Remediators and contests for Snow Lord or Lady and the Spirit of Yule fashion show.  In total, 7000 TP will be given away during the event.  The night will finish with Yule themed stories and an open mic for anyone who would like to share Yule music or tales.

gdf-yule-party

Laurelin’s Grand Order of the Lost Mathom invites their fellow hobbits to Songburrow Hall, located at 4 Brookbank Street in the Songburrow neighbourhood of the Shire homesteads this Sunday, December 13th at 2pm EST/7pm UK time for Yule Tree and Mathom Night.  They’ll put up their tree, have some mulled wine, and enjoy Yule music together.  Afterwards everyone is invited inside to look at the mathoms on display and show off their own objects for comments and value appraisal.


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!

Crickhollow’s Winterfest features 12 bands and 2 days of music in the winter wonderland of Thorin’s Gate.  The festivities kick off on Friday night at 8pm EST with Breakfast Club, DisEnchanted, P.I.E., and Misty Mountain Hobs.  On Saturday they’ll welcome Struck by Moonlight, Little Wanderers, Dulcet Tones, Fraggle Rock, Lollipops, A Rock and a Hard Place, Lag Spike and Bunny Patrol, playing round robin from noon until 4pm.  Expect plenty of Yule music, some surprises, and lots of dancing.  For more information read the Crickhollow Music interview with Drummor, leader of the Dulcet Tones and event organiser for Second Breakfast.

Come to Landroval on December 12th for the Parade of Lights.  Meet at 5pm at the Bree Stage with lanterns, sparklers, or any other item that generates light.  The procession of light will take off to Bree’s south gate and then out to the Windy Acres Ranch (9 Chestnut Street, Raglan, Bree Homesteads).  Enjoy special Yule tales and the music of the Remediators.  Take a look at the official forums post to see the full schedule and find out more about this year’s contests: the Snow Lord or Lady horse show and Spirit of Yule fashion show.


A look back:

No Whole Bard performed their monthly concert to a loyal Crickhollow audience last weekend, as captured by Zarenwen.  This look back is also a look forward–NWB plays the last Sunday of the month on Crickhollow and the first Sunday of the month on Landroval.  That means you still have a chance to catch their Yule set on Landroval this Sunday, 6am at the Bree town stage!
