STOP EVERYTHING—A ‘Gilmore Girls’ Festival Is Happening

Remember how you cried after finishing Gilmore Girls for the fifth time of binge-watching it and refused to live anywhere except Stars Hollow when you grow up? Just me? Anyways, THAT’S NOW KINDA BASICALLY POSSIBLE. 

According to Huffington Post, a real life “Gilmore Girls” festival is happening in Washington Depot, Connecticut, the town that Stars Hollow is based on, from October 21-23. Yes, you read that right. 

The festival’s website reads, “Sixteen years ago we all fell in love with Stars Hollow. Here’s your chance to experience it” and it doesn’t stop there. 

Besides just taking place in real life Stars Hollow, there will be an authentic town troubadour, a “Friday Night Dinner” and even a dance recital. It’s basically a dream come true. 

Not to mention, all of the cast members have been invited to join in the festivities! The best part is that YOU, yes YOU, can also participate. Tickets are selling fast but it seems that some are still available. General admission will cost you $175 and VIP tickets, which Huffington Post reports are already sold out, cost $250. 

So while you wait for the revival to come out in November, pack your Yale hat and coffee cup and head to Stars Hollow.
