The Great Dickens Christmas Fair and Victorian Holiday Party returns for five weekends to the Cow Palace this November and December. 

​

An annual Bay Area tradition for nearly 40 years, the Great Dickens Christmas Fair features hundreds of costumed Victorian characters, from waltzing royals to scrappy chimney-sweeps, who populate over four acres of twilight-lit shops, pubs, stages, and dance halls. At the Dickens Fair, it's always Christmas Eve in 19th-century London!

​

The Great Dickens Christmas Fair offers a variety of entertainments for all ages and tastes. Step back into Christmas past of Ebenezer Scrooge at Fezziwig's Christmas Party, and marvel at the deductive skills of famed sleuth Sherlock Holmes. Families can also take part in hands-on craft activities, old-world games of skill and chance, lively interactive shows, and a new skating rink.

The Fair run every Saturday & Sunday (November 23 - December 22)
