'The Lord of the Rings' stars are reuniting in Vancouver this winter
Frodo (Wood), Samwise Gamgee (Astin), Pippin (Boyd), and Merry (Monaghan) will meet and greet fans celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, which launched the legendary film franchise.
The actors will also participate in a separately ticketed, after-hours event, An Evening with the Hobbits: In Celebration of 25 Years, on the Family Day long weekend in February.

“Fan Expo is all about creating unforgettable experiences, and An Evening with the Hobbits will be exactly that,” said Andrew Moyes, vice president of Fan Expo HQ, in a release.
“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.”
Thousands of visitors are expected to flock to the three-day celebration at the Vancouver Convention Centre, drawing in fans of sci-fi, horror, comic books, and everyone in between.
