40th Annual Dickens of A Christmas
December 14 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

The 40th Annual Dickens of a Christmas, Middle Tennessee’s largest outdoor Christmas festival, returns this year to downtown Franklin’s historic Main Street on Saturday, December 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, December 14 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festival will recreate the time of Charles Dickens using historic downtown Franklin’s charming architecture as the backdrop. A variety of musicians, dancers and Dickens characters will fill the streets. Expect to see and interact with the nefarious Fagin from Oliver Twist; Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the rest of the Cratchit family from A Christmas Carol; and of course, a Victorian Father and Mother Christmas with treats for children.
