The Lightning Returns event will be exactly the same as the one that ran last November. It involved Lightning appearing in Eorzea and a series of FATEs against beasts from Final Fantasy XIII. It will last from Tuesday, February 4 at 8:00 to Monday, February 24 at 14:59 (GMT), although the individual chapters of the event will run at specific times.
