Dickens Christmas Faire

Delight in holiday festivities even Scrooge would love at the 2nd Annual Dickens Christmas Faire. Presented by St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, 678 Enos Way, Livermore, the Dickens Christmas Faire will be held Saturday, November 30 from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday, December 1 from 12 noon to 5 pm. Admission is $10 per person for both days, with children 5 and younger free. Proceeds benefit a variety of programs serving the community.

Stroll the streets of Olde London where crafters ply their wares; browse a selection of handmade crafts, soaps, jewelry, pottery, hand carved wooden toys, gifts, and more. Live performers will enact scenes from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol throughout the weekend, with dancing and musical entertainment between acts. Costumes are encouraged.

High Tea will be offered both days. Seatings are at 4 pm, and the cost is $15 per person. For those hungry before teatime, a hearty ploughman's lunch, soup, pasties, or scones may be purchased from the lunchroom; adult beverages will be available at Miss Mattie's Pub.

Father Christmas will be on hand to visit with children of all ages. Additional children's activities will be available. Visitors may also enter a raffle to win lovely prizes. All proceeds from the event benefit the programs of St. Bart's, including the Big Heart Wellness Center, an interfaith food pantry providing assistance, health and nutrition support, and legal counsel to community members in need.
