General Festival Events
Festival Dances
Main article: Dance of the Races
During each festival, Dance Leaders will teach characters up to eight special racial dances (two from each Race) by completing dance lessons. There is one Dance Leader located in each of the festival grounds of Thorin's Hall and the Festival Garden in Ered Luin, the Party Tree in the Shire, and the Festival Grounds in Bree-land.
Dance lessons take place about every 20 minutes, and the quests are available for about 5 minutes before the dance begins. When the Dance Leader starts, target the leader and follow their instructions using the commands /dance1, /dance2, or /dance3 as they instruct you. There are about 5-10 seconds to perform each step.
At the end of the lesson, the Dance Leader returns to their original position and you are able to select your reward: either the first or second dance emote from that race. Complete the lessons again to learn all the dances!
Festival Horse Races
Main article: Festival Horse Races
Each festival brings exciting horses races to The Shire and the Bree-land Festival Grounds. By completing a race in time, players can win race tokens which can be exchanged with Will Peartree at Hengstacer Farm for exclusive festival steeds.
Earn the Glittering Yule Steed and the Frosty Steed during the Yule Festival 2011.
Race locations:
- All-Shire Run - The Shire, just north of the Shire Homesteads
- The Bree Derby - Bree-land at the Festival Grounds
The quest will appear above the race-master's head, and you will be directed to choose whatever horse/pony you like to use for the race. You race against the clock. Gallop around the track as fast as you can. If you do not reach the end in time, and fail the quest, you will need to wait one hour for the quest to become available once more.
To acquire a Yule Steed you must trade:

A Bit of Drinking
Main articles: The Inn League and The Ale Association
The Inn League and The Ale Association are looking for a few good drinkers. Are you wishing to cause mischief at the smug inns of the realm or grant the wishes of those lonely drinkers who are simply in need of a good brew. Either way raise your mug and toast the festivities!
