Celebrating 25 Years of Magic and Memories
A Dickens Holiday turns 25!
For 25 years, A Dickens Holiday has been a beloved tradition in the holiday season in the heart of Fayetteville, North Carolina. Inspired by the timeless tales of Charles Dickens, our event transforms downtown into a charming wonderland, complete with shopping, carolers, street performers, and holiday activities that would make even Scrooge smile. Originally conceived as a cheerful alternative to the Black Friday frenzy, A Dickens Holiday has grown into a cherished event attracting thousands of visitors each year. By highlighting our local shops and their unique offerings, we help keep the heart of our downtown Fayetteville vibrant and thriving.
The true magic of A Dickens Holiday lies in its ability to bring people of all ages together. From families delighting in festive activities to couples strolling and shopping hand-in-hand through beautifully decorated streets, the event fosters a sense of togetherness and joy. Children’s laughter fills the air as they engage in holiday crafts and meet beloved characters, while adults savor the warm aromas of seasonal treats and the twinkling lights that illuminate our downtown. Whether it's unique holiday gift shopping, local dance group vendors, the Gingerbread house contest, costume contest, carriage rides, educational and craft events, or the appearances of the Queen, the Bobbies, Scrooge, Marley, the Cratchits, and other characters—every aspect of the celebration is designed to evoke the warmth and wonder of the holiday season, ensuring every attendee leaves with cherished memories.
As we celebrate this milestone year, we invite everyone to join us in commemorating 25 years of tradition, joy, and community spirit. Whether you’re a long-time attendee or new to our festivities, A Dickens Holiday promises to enchant and delight, reminding us all of the magic that the season brings.
