Every March 25th is Tolkien Reading Day!
As described on the Tolkien Society Website:
“It has been organised by the Tolkien Society since 2003 to encourage fans to celebrate and promote the life and works of J.R.R. Tolkien by reading favourite passages. We particularly encourage schools, museums, and libraries to host their own Tolkien Reading Day events.”
Some fans gather together in local groups to celebrate, and some post their reading video online.
Here is one of our favorite readings from a past celebration (this one actually from Hobbit Day—Sept.22) :
