The lords of Pelargir and Umbar come together every few years for a good old game of Battleship! The winner gets to destroy the enemy fleet for real!
(Maybe that's how Thorongil did it...)

Eating taters. Both are not used to them; so it is a real challenge, who can get down the most. Referee of this event is of course a Halfling.

Every spring they celebrate "Prolific Pink Day" and everyone wears pink, drinks pink ale, paints pink flowers on their homes and rune-keeper try to find spells to make their bubbles pink instead of that ugly yellow!

Pelargir and Umbar have a long tradition of cardio training contests!
The running around you might see when going there is not random, they're practicing.

Little known competition.
The sorcerers of Umbar take on the Pelagir Thieves guild, annually, to see which of them can produce the best 'sawing a Halfling in half' illusion.
What makes it difficult for the sorcerers is that the halfing has to be hale and hearty, afterwards.
