DRAGON DAYS™: The Fantasy Crossroads of the World Festival, is a three-day, fun-filled fantasy festival for families, fantasy fans, and gamers alike! This city-wide event celebrates the City of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, as the Birthplace of Fantasy!

DRAGON DAYS™ is a non-profit organization supported by the Gygax Memorial fund and is being chaired by local businessman and former TSR Hobbies employee, Harold Johnson.

Lake Geneva is the birthplace of the world's first roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons® and hometown of its co-creator and NY Times best selling author, Gary Gygax! It is also the home of Gary's original game company that produced not only D&D® but scores of popular games and hundreds of fantasy and sci-fi novels.

DRAGON DAYS™ Fantasy Festival will feature several venues throughout the City of Lake Geneva.

Attendees and children of all ages will be able to experience our Fantasy Faire in the local park along the picturesque shores of Lake Geneva. Here you may explore our Fantasy Village, enjoy trick-or-treating in our Enchanted Bazaar, adventure in our hay bale, DRAGON DAYS™ Dungeon Maze, or dress-up for our Fantastic Costume Contest! There will also be face painting, circus performers, Medieval musicians, demonstrations of Medieval craftsmanship, archery, and swordsmanship, and an Enchanted Bazaar with Medieval crafts, clothing, jewelry, and fantasy and gaming merchandise of all kinds!

The local library will be the site of fantasy and science-fiction book signings and a magical children's fairy tale story time. The town theater will present screenings of the D&D® movies and the Saturday morning D&D® cartoon for kids of all ages! The historic gaming venues will have tabletop gaming of all sorts, including special introductory games that teach anyone how to play Dungeons & Dragons®. And finally, the local museum will present its Wizard of Lake Geneva™ exhibit about Gary Gygax and D&D®, as well as tours of Lake Geneva's historical D&D® sites, including The Birthplace of D&D®—330 Center Street!

Food and drink will be available nearby at the many local restaurants and shops in the charming downtown area. All within easy walking distance!

The 1st annual DRAGON DAYS™ Fantasy Festival was held October 13th through 15th, 2023 and celebrated Gary Gygax, the founding TSR, the game company that first published Dungeons & Dragons®, and the legacy that followed from that!

Our next DRAGON DAYS™ will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the publication of Dungeons & Dragons® on September 27th-29th, 2024!

So save the date, gather your fellow heroes, big and small, and join us for the adventure of a lifetime! (Check the DRAGON DAYS™ website for more details by clicking here: DRAGON DAYS™.)
