What is the name of the town festival featuring living art tableaux?

The town festival featuring living art tableaux is the Festival of Living Art.

Stars Hollow stages the Festival of Living Art as a community event in which residents recreate famous artworks by posing in carefully arranged tableaux. The festival is one of the show's most memorable examples of the town's elaborate and eccentric traditions.

The episode centers on the preparation and performance of the tableaux, with characters taking the roles of figures from paintings. Lorelai, Rory, and other residents become involved as the town works to present the event successfully.

The festival is sometimes called a living-art festival in casual descriptions, but Festival of Living Art is the canonical title used in Gilmore Girls. It should not be confused with the town's other events, such as the dance marathon or the annual knit-a-thon.
