It is not easy finding an event nearby or somewhere at a distant spot of our planet where one can meet friends or those who think of the Tolkien's legendarium in the same vein.

I myself have encountered a lot of websites and communities that provide extensive material, yet my wish and search mostly concentrated on finding something really interesting, in line of an adventure that Bilbo would love to have (looks like a role-playing game or a tournament now) or an event for lady Eowyn and Arwen (seemingly a ball). Hopefully the organizers of the great and powerful events in Middle-earth around us will soon come up with something that has a little of both for all Tolkien lovers alike.

Meanwhile here are some of the findings over the net that now encircles our world:
