=Charles Dickens comes to San Francisco

=

The thirtieth anniversary celebration of The Great Dickens Christmas Fair kicks off the Friday after Thanksgiving, November 28, for four weekends through Sunday, December 21 at the historic Cow Palace in San Francisco. This annual tradition features hundreds of costumed players, colorful characters from literature and history, and winding lanes filled with shoppes, pubs, and delicious fare. Like no other event in the world, the Great Dickens Christmas Fair transforms 100,000 square feet of exhibition halls into a Victorian Christmas card come to life. This uniquely San Francisco tradition is the holiday party that generations of families have enjoyed for three decades.

The Great Dickens Christmas Fair is directed each year by the Patterson family, who created and produced the original Renaissance Faire at Black Point and Stafford Lake in Marin County for over three decades. The Great Dickens Christmas Fair offers guests an escape to Charles Dickens' Londontown complete with madcap theatre and entertainment, sumptuous feasts and delicious treats, games of chance and skill, and 100 charming lamplit shops with one-of-a-kind gifts.

Theatrical delights abound for guests both young and old. Stroll down a London street and meet characters from A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, and the great Charles Dickens himself. Enjoy the uptown sensation of the Metropolitan Music Hall or a Punch & Judy puppet show, then duck into Mad Sal's Dockside Alehouse where patrons can join in singing rowdy favorites or watch the bold high-kicking ladies take to the stage for a wicked can-can! The Great Dickens Christmas Fair presents an enchanting alternative to the typical commercial fare of the season.
