Narberth Dickens Festival: December 10, 2011

Posted in: Arts and Culture, Fairs and Festivals, Holiday, Upcoming Events

The Narberth Dickens Festival is a free family event held each December on the streets of downtown Narberth. The upcoming festival will take place on Saturday, December 10th, 2011 from noon to 4pm. It draws thousands to Narberth every year, and it has become the fastest-growing holiday festival in the Philadelphia area. In this Dickens-themed event, the town of Narberth is transformed into 1840's London, as Ebeneezer Scrooge and all the characters from A Christmas Carol roam the streets for an afternoon.

There are activities for all ages, including a free and extremely popular scavenger hunt for the children, which sends them searching high and low for Dickens characters in order to win a prize. The Victorian top hat prizes are worn proudly all afternoon by hundreds of kids throughout Narberth's festive downtown. Hats from previous years are often adorned with Dickens Fest commemorative pins.
