Ranatuor's Lore - Official LOTRO Events Schedule 2021

Official LOTRO Events Schedule (2021)

On the LOTRO Official forums SSG Community Manager, Cordovan, keeps a forum thread updated regarding official LOTRO events in-game. It's currently updated to the end of 2021 for the main festivals and bonuses. Below I have collated that information into an easy-to-read format.

Please note Midsummer was the new annual festival added in 2020 (linked with the Great Wedding in Minas Tirith) which led to the Summer and Farmers Faire merging as one festival. Tokens for that combined festival are Farmers Faire.

I have provided links for each of main events to the indispensable LOTRO Wiki, which has a page for the special events here.

For a list of my own social/RP-lite events for 2021, please check here.
