“Christmas isn’t cancelled,” says the Dickens Christmas Fair‘s website.
And indeed, it is not.
For Christmas, 2020, the Dickens Fair has reimagined its festivities as “Dickens Fair At Home”, which we can enjoy, remotely, for free!
Kevin Patterson, Executive Producer of Red Barn Productions, stars in this edition of Noelophile® for a look at the creative process behind “Dickens Fair At Home”, and a preview of what you’ll get to experience.
Starting tomorrow, November 21st, right through Christmas Eve, “Dickens Fair At Home” brings some of the sights, sounds and even the tastes of the Dickens Fair into our homes! (They even plan to give some instructions in roasting chestnuts–and according to their website, an “open fire” isn’t needed!)
Their special content will include “Mr. Dickens” doing special readings of “A Christmas Carol”, some of the Dickens Fair’s talented artists giving workshops on at-home crafts, and even downloadable sheet music and recipes!
Here’s the link to the full schedule, which will include new content every weekend, from now through Christmas Eve.
Meanwhile, are you ready for some fantastic Christmas shopping? A number of the talented artists who normally exhibit onsite at the Dickens Fair are showcasing their work at this link!
“Dickens Fair At Home” is a free series, happening virtually, weekends starting Saturday, November 21st through Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24th. Here’s the link for the festivities.
And don’t miss Father Christmas, on December 24th, as he reads “The Night Before Christmas”–OR the Dickens Christmas Fair when it returns to the Cow Palace in 2021!
