Nazareth will become a real-life version of Stars Hollow on Saturday as the borough hosts a Gilmore Girls-themed event featuring more than 45 local businesses and vendors.

The free event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the downtown. Local shops, cafés, and artisans will offer specials and experiences inspired by the television series, including Luke’s Diner pop-ups, photo opportunities, and themed merchandise.

Event organizers have planned several activities for fans of the show. A Luke-A-Like competition will seek participants who resemble the show’s grumpy diner owner character, with flannel encouraged and a backward hat optional.

Other activities include Gilmore Girls BINGO, karaoke, Miss Patty-style dance lessons, and “I Smell Snow” activities featuring intention jars and crafts. A strolling town troubadour will perform throughout the day.

Participating businesses will offer unique items, photo opportunities, raffles, and limited-time products inspired by characters from the series. While admission to the event is free, individual activities may carry additional charges depending on the business.

A free shuttle service will run from Nazareth Borough Park to the event area. Additional details are available on the event’s Facebook page.
