Dickens of a Christmas (2023)

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED AND THE WAIT LIST IS FULL. We will post applications for all three of our festival (Main Street Festival, PumpkinFest, and Dickens of a Christmas) by the middle of January. Dickens of a Christmas presented by Wilson Bank & Trust attracts 115,000 people and recreates the time of Charles Dickens using historic downtown Franklin’s charming architecture as the backdrop. A variety of musicians, dancers and Dickens characters will fill the streets. Expect to see and interact with the nefarious Fagin from Oliver Twist; Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the rest of the Cratchit family from A Christmas Carol; and of course, a Victorian Father and Mother Christmas with treats for children. The festival is produced by the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County.
