Tolkien Native Language Appreciation Fest 2026
And we are on year #2 of organizing this fest! Last year's edition went fairly smoothly, hopefully this year we will see more people participating!
As mentioned, this is an event aimed to celebrate the diversity in the Tolkien fandom, which takes inspiration both by Tolkien’s profession as a linguist and inventor of all the languages in his opus, and his own characters’ prowess in several languages.
Not only this, but diversity also in the fandom itself! The Tolkien fandom encompasses quite literally the entire world!
So here we are, on year two, organizing this fest as a celebration once again!
As per usual, here's the details!
The event will take place the week between the 16th June and the 22nd June.
