Dragon Days™ Fantasy Festival attendance will require Festival Passes (wrist-bands) at most festival venues. (The Friday Dedication Ceremony and all Lake Geneva Public Library events are free to the public and do not require Festival Passes.)
Festival Passes will be available for pick-up at the Gygax Memorial Fund / Fantasy Fair Entrance situated in Library Park, west of the Lake Geneva Public Library near the intersection of Madison St. and West Main St. the weekend of the festival Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm.
Festival Passes may also be purchased onsite at this same location on the days of the festival.
The festival will happen rain or shine! The Fantasy Faire in the park is an outdoor venue but the merchants will be under tents and the performers will have a roof over the stage. All other festival venues are indoors and other than a short walk, attendees will be warm and cozy at one of our many event sites around the city.
Dragon Days™ Fall Fantasy Festival is an initiative of the Gygax Memorial Fund. All funds from this initiative go to Gygax Memorial Fund, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
