The 'Gilmore Girls' Fan Festival Is Happening This Month

Wishing you endless coffee and chocolate today, like the inside of @kentcoffeechocolate! Summer means the sun starts to rise here a little before 4a.m., which means everyone is awake at our house way too early! So, the only obvious solution is coffee. Have a great day! #gilmoregirlsfanfest #gilmoregirls #coffee

Gilmore Girls Fan Fest, which was introduced by co-creators Jennie and Marcus Whitaker, gives you the chance to spend three days living like your favorite characters from the show. That means drinking lots and lots of coffee, attending a cake tasting, and even participating in a jam session where you can belt out the theme tune, "Where You Lead," alongside Carole King's daughter, Louise Goffin.

"Last year we received an abundance of praise from everyone involved, from the fans to the cast, which made the decision to put on this year's festival easy for us," Marcus said in a release. "Jennie and I have learned a lot from our time in Connecticut and for us, anytime you can have fun while learning something new you've done the right thing."

We get lots of emails from people asking if they'll get to take a photo with a cast member at the festival, in fact we just got one this morning, so we thought we'd just share these images. You guys, these cast members are the best kind of people. We didn't even ask them about photos and autographs, because we wanted the weekend to feel authentic but so many times we saw them stop while they were walking around town to enjoy their fans throughout the weekend! So yes, it's likely you'll get to snap a photo or two with some of your favorite cast members! #gilmoregirls #gilmoregirlsfanfest #starshollow

The event will take place on the weekend of Oct. 20 in Kent, Connecticut, AKA the town that inspired the series' creator Amy Sherman-Palladino to dream up the fictional Stars Hollow in the first place.

"Putting on an event that provides a light-hearted, joy-filled weekend for others and allows us to celebrate a lot of really talented people we admire is really rewarding in itself, but at the end of the day I'm a fan too so that's what makes this opportunity really special," says Jennie.

If you can't make it Stars Hollow this year, don't fret. At least you have this Gilmore Girls coffee cake to remind you of the treats at Luke's.
