Fall Festival 2026 at MLWGS

Fall Festival Poster

Weather permitting, the 2026 Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School Annual Fall Festival will be held on Friday, October 2nd from 2 pm to 6 pm, located in the circular parking lot.  Fall Festival is a wonderful tradition for the MLWGS community.

Sponsored by the PTSA, Fall Festival is a fantastic event for all students, their families, and the MLWGS community. Students run booths showcasing delicious food (most will be grab-and-go) displays, merchandise, and a stage of live performances. All proceeds raised benefit the participating student groups and help fund their activities.

Tickets are Fall Festival currency used to purchase food, products, and activities from our student booths. Pricing varies between booths, and most individuals spend between $15-35. Get your tickets today through Wednesday, September 30th by filling out this form (https://forms.gle/STjh7i29g3fkSd896) and sending your payment using Zelle or PayPal! Students will pick up these pre-purchased tickets at Fall Festival “Will Call” to avoid the lines. Tickets can also be bought on the day of the event for cash only at Ticket Booths or through a Zelle QR code on the event day (also at Will Call, but not as efficient).

All proceeds from Fall Fest support MLWGS student organizations! Thanks for your continued support of MLWGS PTSA and our amazing students. Contact [email protected] with any questions. 

Please note: The PTSA uses these payment methods to minimize transaction fees, ensuring that more proceeds go directly to student clubs.

Who: Volunteers are needed! Please sign up for a slot or two to make the Fest the best. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0444AAAE2DA5F58-66089730-volunteer 

What Else: Dragon’s Lair will be selling swag all festival long for cash, check, or credit card. Thanks for your continued support of MLWGS PTSA and our amazing students. Contact [email protected] with any questions.

This year has been no different, and on Wednesday, I saw more wigs than I…
