The Taste of Hobbiton

Missing Things
Where: The Party Tree, The Festival Garden, and Thorin's Hall
Many festival patrons of Middle-earth are a bit zealous in their appreciation, and may need help gathering their wits when all is done.
Fishing

Beginning in Bywater, you will have the opportunity to do some exciting angling in several different areas of Middle-earth.

Inn League and Ale Association
- Main articles: The Inn League and The Ale Association
The Inn League and the Ale Association are running their activities during the faire.
Festival Dances
- Main article: Dance of the Races
During all seasonal Festivals, 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 Inn and The Festival Garden in Ered Luin, The Party Tree in the Shire, and the Festival Grounds in Bree-land.
Dance lessons take place approximately every 20 minutes, and the quests are available for about 5 minutes before the dance begins. As of U20, the quest start times are random.
When the Dance Leader starts, target the leader and follow their instructions using the commands /dance1, /dance2, or /dance3 as they instruct you. The time to perform each step decreases with the quest's progression.
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 Mounts
- Main article: Festival Horse Races
Each festival brings exciting horse races to The Shire Race-track and the Bree-land Festival Grounds. By completing a race in time, players can win festival tokens which can be exchanged for festival rewards.
