Old Town’s Dickens Village
This article was posted on Tue, Nov 10 2009 | Permalink
During the first weekend of December the streets of Old Town will be filled with thousands of residents, business owners, and visitors enjoying the 3rd Annual Old Town Dickens Village. This celebration serves as an opportunity to bring patrons to Old Town to appreciate all it has to offer at the merriest time of the year.
Old Town Dickens Village is a free, family-friendly, all-welcoming event to kick off the holiday season in Old Town. Participants will be treated to music, interactions with characters from Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, horse and carriage rides, puppet shows, arts and crafts, holiday craft markets, art show openings and more.
This is only the third year, but Dickens Village is still focused on bringing people to Old Town to experience all we have to offer, while keeping the event free for patrons. We invite you to be a part of this exciting holiday event.
