Tolkien Reading Day
“The Tolkien Society established Tolkien Reading Day in 2003 after Sean Kirst, a newspaper columnist in Syracuse, New York, suggested the holiday. The purpose of the observance is to honor the vast literary work of John Ronald Reuel (J.R.R.) Tolkien, father of the high fantasy genre, and to encourage educators and library groups to advance Tolkien reading in their communities and ensure people have access to his works.” http://www.nationaltoday.com/tolkien-reading-day
And in Switzerland…
“For Tolkien Reading Day, we’re visiting the Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps, which is believed to have inspired the Elven sanctuary of Rivendell in J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit.’ Like Tolkien’s mythical Elf settlement, Lauterbrunnen Valley has a bit of storybook appeal, with an unusually narrow valley floor hemmed in by steep Alpine cliffs and dotted with numerous waterfalls.” (bing.com on March 25 2022):
