Dickens of a Christmas brings entertaining weekend to Historic Downtown Franklin

This year will mark the 30th year to celebrate Dickens of a Christmas in Historic Downtown Franklin! Each second weekend in December, we travel back 150 years in time to a Main Street from the time of Charles Dickens, and the tradition continues this year Dec. 13-14, 2013, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Dickens of a Christmas is a free street festival, is open to the public, and is expected to attract some 50,000 visitors over the weekend.

Produced by the Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County and Downtown Franklin Association, Dickens of a Christmas is a Top 20 event in the Southeast, designated by the Southeastern Tourism Society.

More than 250 volunteers participate in the event as characters from Dickens stories, vendors or street performers. Show up any time over the course of the weekend, and youre sure to meet Ebenezer Scrooge, his unfortunate partner Marley (the ghost in chains), little Tiny Tim Cratchit and his family, and many more, including Father Christmas.
