The Great Dickens Christmas Fair: a costumed adventure into the holiday parties of Victorian England. Hundreds of costumed players bring to life 100,000 square feet of theatrically-lit music halls, pubs, dance parties, and winding lanes, inviting patrons to sing along, waltz, shop, feast and toast the Season! It’s the golden glow of twilight in Charles Dickens’ London Town – a city filled with lively and 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. One hundred lamp lit shops are filled to overflowing with Christmas presents.
