Everyone’s favourite mother-daughter show is back as a festival and we cannot deal with it!
The sold-out Gilmore Girls Fan Festival will take place on Oct 21st through Oct 23rd in the Washington Depot. “Gilmore Girls” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino said she was inspired in Connecticut, the town that inspired Stars Hollow, the charming fictional hometown of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. But the best part is that it’s been organised by the fans!
