Fall Festival at MLWGS

Weather permitting, the 2024 Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School Annual Fall Festival will be held on Friday, September 27th from 2 pm to 7 pm.  Fall Festival is a wonderful tradition for the MLWGS community.

The 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 for Fall Fest can be purchased online now through Wednesday, September 25, 2024. Tickets are Fall Festival currency used to purchase refreshments and activities from our student booths. Students can pick up the pre-purchased tickets at Fall Festival Will Call and avoid the lines. Tickets can also be bought on the day of the event for cash ONLY.
