Dragon Days™ Fantasy Festival

City Merchant

 

Greetings Noble Merchant of Lake Geneva,

DRAGON DAYS™ is a three-day, fun-filled fantasy festival for families, fantasy fans, and gamers alike! Located in the City of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, this city-wide event celebrates the city as the Birthplace of Fantasy!

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, hundreds of fantasy and sci-fi novels, as well as comics, TV shows, computer games, motion pictures, and more centered on the explosive growth of D&D®.

The City of Lake Geneva is committed to honoring Gary’s work and its legions of fans. Last year, the City held the first ever Gary Gygax Day and established several historic sites and events recognizing Gary Gygax’s legacy. Foremost of these is the Dragon Days™ Fantasy Festival!

Join us again this year on September 27-29, 2024 as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons®!
