In 2026, marking the 25th anniversary of *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring*, the four main hobbit actors – Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, and Elijah Wood – will reunite for a special event for fans. Fan Expo HQ has announced that the actors will appear at eleven conventions across North America in a series called “An Evening with the Hobbits: In Celebration of 25 Years,” honoring both the films and their dedicated fanbase.
According to a recent announcement, “An Evening with the Hobbits” won’t be a typical reunion or panel discussion. It’s being billed as a lively show combining variety, storytelling, and fun. Fan Expo HQ assures fans that each event will be unique, filled with behind-the-scenes stories, playful moments, personal reflections, and lots of laughter.
Here’s the schedule of dates and details for the four-star event, An Evening with the Hobbits:

“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.”
Tickets for “An Evening with the Hobbits: In Celebration of 25 Years” become available October 22nd at 10 AM local time directly from each show’s ticket office. Please remember that you’ll also need a FAN EXPO convention pass to attend, and organizers expect these events to sell out quickly.
Over the years, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan, and Billy Boyd have frequently appeared at fan conventions, and they’ve reunited as a group several times recently. While past appearances with all four actors were infrequent – perhaps once a year or every other year – it’s big news that they’ve already confirmed appearances at eleven events. Lord of the Rings fans will definitely want to mark their calendars!
