The Great Dickens Christmas Fair
Five Weekends: November 19/20, 25/26/27; December 3/4, 10/11, 17/18, 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
The Great Dickens Christmas Fair is a one-of-a-kind immersive adventure into Victorian London ~ an elaborate holiday party with hundreds of costumed players performing and interacting with patrons in over 140,000 square feet of theatrically-lit music halls, pubs, dance floors, and festive shops.
It’s a twilight evening in Charles Dickens’ London Town – a city of winding lanes filled with colorful characters from both literature and history. Enticing aromas of roasted chestnuts and hearty foods fill the air. Cries of street vendors hawking their wares ring out above the bustling crowd. Dozens of lamplit shops are filled to overflowing with handmade gifts. The Dickens Christmas Fair is a treasured Bay Area tradition since 1970 and a splendid way to celebrate the holidays.
New this year, Vauxhall Gardens, Skating Rink and Christmas Tree Sales! Enjoy a beautifully decorated Victorian park-like setting with a skating rink and Christmas tree sales by the Delancy Street Foundation. Visitors may enjoy hot cider and hand made chocolates, skate and purchase a christmas tree to take home! See Vauxhall Gardens for pricing and details.
