LOTRO Festival Guides
Festivals in Lord of the Rings Online happen very regularly and are key times to stop questing and enjoy a relaxed time with other players. The Seasonal events usually have an Encore – usually about a week or so – where you can finish up what you didn’t manage during the main event.
Here are my Event/Festival related guides. I thought that putting them together would make them easier for you to find them, to save you using the search.
Remember: LOTRO Festivals are to be enjoy! Both by you and by the other players. So have fun and take part in such a way as everyone around you can enjoy it too!
