Dickens fair information


Performers at the 2014 Great Dickens Christmas Fair at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California

A Dickens fair (also Dickensian evening, Dickens Christmas fair, Dickens fête or Dickens festival) is a weekend or multi-day gathering open to the public which attempts to recreate a Victorian English setting reminiscent of the novels of Charles Dickens. Events may be outdoor, indoor or a combination of the two. Many are Christmas-themed, a reflection of the enduring legacy of Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol.[1] The fairs generally include costumed participants, musical and theatrical acts, and art, handicrafts, food and drink for sale.
