Every year in the spring, the Anniversary Event takes place to celebrate a very special occasion.

Hello there, good ${CLASS}!
You may have noticed that there is a special event is going on: our very own Anniversary! There are festivities taking place in many locations, perhaps you'd like to know the particulars?
While the event is under way, you will find that there is a beer-brawl in Thorin's Hall, fireworks shows in Bree and the Shire, horse-races at the Horse-fields and Delving fields, and a great number of tokens to be found all over the world. You may trade these tokens for special gifts and profit greatly from such simple tasks as fighting evil in Middle-earth.
Go and explore the different festivities, and be sure to return here at night to participate in our marvelous firework show!
A spectacular fireworks display occurs every night on a hill above Bree-town. Winston Peartree, at the fireworks area near Bree's North-gate, will happily introduce you to the event and get you participating in it in no time.
Visit Sally Threshing at the Bree Festival Grounds race-track to learn about testing your skill at racing. The Bree Festival Grounds are located between the Northern Bree Fields and Bree-town.
The Methel-stage, just south of Bywater in the Shire, is the location of a spectacular annual fireworks extravaganza. Gandalf himself has donated fireworks for this event, which is hosted by the Hobbits of Bywater. Help is needed to make this the largest spectacle it can be!
Visit Carl Proudfoot at the Delving Fields race-track to learn about testing your skill at racing. The Delving Fields are to the south-east of Michel Delving in the Shire.
The Thorin's Hall Festival Arena is host to the Battle for Glorious Beer. Inside the arena, Gísli Strongclub will introduce you to the finer points of swinging a dwarf-club, and will tell you what is required if you choose to undergo the ultimate challenge of claiming the Glorious Beer for yourself.
The Keepers of Gifts can be found in most of the major towns in Middle-earth during the Anniversary, with Angeline Greenpasture holding her post in Bree.
You should speak to Bree-land's Keeper of Gifts to receive a small token of appreciation.
