Tolkien Fandom Event Calendar 2026
There are lots of exciting Tolkien fandom weeks/events coming up this year, so just like last year, I decided to create a masterpost to keep track of everything. Other excellent sources are @curiouselleth's Tolkien Fandom Events community as well as @tolkienfandomevents!
This list is not exhaustive, and dates are subject to change by the organisers of these events! Please check the original post for the most up-to-date version.
If you know of any events not included here, please don't hesitate to send me a message or an ask. Please note that I am not running any of these events myself and that I am not responsible for any prompts/submissions part of these events.
