Bah Humbug!
tradition and you may just run into The Cratchits and Tiny Tim…among other Dickens characters!
The Narberth Dickens Festival is a free family event held on a Sunday afternoon each December on the streets of downtown Narberth. It draws thousands to this little borough every year, and it has become one of the most anticipated holiday festivals in the Philadelphia region. In this Dickens-themed event, the town of Narberth is transformed into 1840’s London, as Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, and all the characters from A Christmas Carol roam the streets for an afternoon.
This year the Dickens Festival returns Sunday, December 7th from 12pm to 4pm. There is ample neighborhood parking. This event is rain, snow or shine.
The 16th annual festival, organized by the Narberth Business Association, is packed with fun, entertainment and activities for all ages, including holiday crafts, carolers, period vendors and food, dancers, musicians, ballet performances, puppet shows, puppeteers, a free Dickens-themed scavenger hunt for children, and much more.
Put on your top hat and come join the fun!
