Thank you for being so patient while we work hard to bring about this autumn festival. The past few weeks have certainly thrown a few hurdles our way: Venue changes, our photo/ticketing vendor dropping off, email deliverability issues, you name it!

But there have also been bright moments: People are sharing how excited they are to experience this with their closest friends and family. Nearly every business owner I talk to lights up – not just at the prospect of foot traffic during a slow season but because they, too, love our favorite show. I’m excited to finanly share we are gathering this fall in Danville, California!

Danville is a hidden gem in the Bay Area’s Contra Costa County, with a charming downtown, boutique shops, and lovely parks. It’s the perfect small town to enjoy a weekend, meet cast members from your favorite show, and connect with fellow fans of… autumn.

We’re slow-rolling additional announcements in the coming days, to make sure our new email domain warms up properly and stays out of your spam folder. In the meantime, here’s a summary of what we can share so far:

So here’s what we have so far:

• Event: Flannel & Foliage: An Autumn Weekend in Danville
• City: Danville, CA
• Dates: October 23-25, 2026
• Accommodations: A discounted room block at the Hyatt House San Ramon, just 3 miles from Danville. Use group code G-STVG for free parking (breakfast is free for all)

We haven’t signed the venue or talent contract (which should happen next week). Once they’ve been secured, tickets will go on sale.

The event will be smaller in terms of the number of VIP tickets we can sell because we’re dealing with a small town with small venues.

But the good news? You can still get a free General Admission ticket and plenty of photo op slots, autographs, and small-group Q&A sessions to meet your favorite actors/actresses. Plus, we’ll have free activities and opportunities to meet other fans and nerd out on all of the things we love about fall.

I hope that’s good for everyone. Because this isn’t your typical fan convention – it’s a passion project meant to bring fans together to celebrate our favorite season and show. While the timeline hasn’t moved as quickly as we’d like, we are getting closer every day.
