More than a reunion and so much more than a panel, An Evening with the Hobbits is part variety show, part storytelling session, and all fun. No two nights will be the same - fans can expect a lively mix of behind-the-scenes memories, on-stage antics, heartfelt reflections, and plenty of laughs along the way. From inside jokes and surprise moments to the friendships that still shine 25 years later, this one-of-a-kind event promises a celebration as unexpected - and joyful - as a Hobbit feast.

"FAN EXPO is all about creating unforgettable experiences, and An Evening with the Hobbits will be exactly that," said Andrew Moyes, Vice President, FAN EXPO HQ. "Fans are delighted whenever we host these gentlemen individually - but together, the energy is electric. Their characters are beloved, their friendship is indelible, and the joy they bring to audiences is unmatched. We can't wait to present this special anniversary celebration in 2026."
At a recent FAN EXPO appearance, Elijah Wood offered these thoughts on the anniversary: "To be celebrating this milestone - a quarter of a century - just feels abstract. It still feels like the films are really present. The fact that we're spending this kind of time (at conventions with fans and doing shows like this), it keeps it so fresh for us. It's such a massive, continual part of our lives."
Tickets for An Evening with the Hobbits: In Celebration of 25 Years at FAN EXPO NEW ORLEANS will be on sale October 22 at 10 AM CT via www.fanexponeworleans.com. (FAN EXPO New Orleans admission required), along with VIP experiences that include once-in-a-lifetime photo op and autograph sessions. Exclusive merch and collectibles will also be available at each of the tour stops, and organizers are teasing even more celebratory programming (including additional The Lord of the Rings guest appearances at FAN EXPO HQ events) - details coming soon.
Fans are encouraged to secure their spot early - these evenings are expected to sell out faster than pints at The Green Dragon.
