OK, book nuts and other fans:
If you look at the appendices of LOTR, you will see that MARCH 25, 3019 of the Third Age of the Sun is a special day. This is the day that the One Ring was destroyed. 
This is quite a day for the nuts who adore LOTR! 
Technically speaking (in movieverse, that is), the beloved, brave and beautiful Haldir fell at the Battle of the Hornburg on March 3...
And Elvish New Year is right around the corner on March 28--correct me if I am wrong...

Ahh, celebrating the destruction of shiny evil things......
Hmmm, elvish new year on March 28th? that'd be Easter Monday around here and lots of schools and businesses have the day off, so yeah! lots of reasons to celebrate!!!
I think the kids would be nuts over celebrating an elvish holiday!! hmmm, what to serve, uhm not mead, root beer maybe (for the hobbits, anyway)........

Yes, according to the Encyclopedia of Arda:
Yestarë
The first day of the year
'First-day', the name used in the Elves' calendars, and those derived from them, for the first day of the year. The actual date of yestarë varied from calendar to calendar; according to the Reckoning of Rivendell, it fell on modern 28 March, while in the calendars of the Númenóreans and their descendants, its modern equivalent would be 22 December.
I can see drinking Martinelli's Sparkling Cider--just like apple juice, or ginger ale!
Enjoy!
