The actors who play Luke, Emily, Kirk, Mrs. Kim, Michel and other favorites from the TV show “Gilmore Girls” are coming to Danville to meet fans this October.
From Oct. 23-25, downtown Danville will become the home of the Flannel & Foliage Festival, which will offer fall activities, coffee and food, with photo ops with favorite actors from the fictional small-town Connecticut community of Stars Hollow.
General admission is free, but VIP tickets will be available. The festival includes live music, trivia, scavenger hunts, autumn-themed artisan booths and screenings of “Gilmore Girls.” Ticket holders can attend live hosted panels and meet-and-greets featuring Scott Patterson, Kelly Bishop, Sean Gunn, Emily Kuroda, Yanic Truesdale, Todd Lowe and John Cabrera.
While the TV show ran for seven seasons, from 2000 to 2007 on the WB and CW, it’s remained part of pop culture via streaming, and in 2016, Netflix produced a four-episode sequel miniseries, “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.”
The show is heavily associated with the fall season because of its depictions of the cozy fictional New England town, its use of warm autumnal colors and fall clothing, and plot points connected to the academic year, according to Reddit users.

Beyond the Danville festival, more Gilmore Girls nostalgia is on the way: A documentary by HBO about the hit show is reported to be in the works, and a book about the making of “Gilmore Girls,” by executive producer Amy Sherman-Palladino and star Lauren Graham, is set to be published in the fall of next year.
