The Details:
The Narberth Dickens Festival is a free family event that transforms downtown Narberth, Pennsylvania, into 1840s London each December. This highly anticipated holiday festival draws thousands annually with its immersive Dickensian theme, featuring characters like Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim roaming the streets. Attendees can enjoy a wide array of entertainment and activities suitable for all ages, including holiday crafts, carolers, period vendors, food, dancers, musicians, and ballet performances. Highlights also include puppet shows, a free Dickens-themed scavenger hunt for children with prizes, a filibuster reading of "A Christmas Carol," and a free showing of "A Muppet Christmas Carol" at Reel Cinemas. The event takes place rain, snow, or shine, embracing the winter weather. Public transportation via train is highly recommended, as the station is centrally located within the festival area.
