Dickens on The Strand holiday fest returns Dec. 3-5
Galveston’s world-famous Victorian holiday festival Dickens on The Strand is returning Dec. 3-5.
For 48 years, Galveston Historical Foundation’s Dickens on The Strand festival has highlighted downtown Galveston’s Victorian-era architecture while providing a one-of-a-kind holiday destination filled with the sights and sounds of Charles Dickens’ work.
This year’s event continues that tradition with new entertainers and events, returning favorites, special events all weekend long, and plenty of familyfriendly programming.
The annual holiday street festival, based on 19th century Victorian London, features parades, non-stop entertainment on multiple stages, strolling carolers, roving musicians, bagpipers, jugglers, and a host of other entertainers. Costumed vendors peddle their wares from street stalls and rolling carts laden with holiday food and drink, Victorian-inspired crafts, clothing, jewelry, holiday decorations, and gift items.
