A Dicken's Holiday
Presented by The Arts Council
with the Downtown Alliance
There is no better place to spend the holidays
than Downtown Fayetteville! With the 10th
Anniversary of a Dicken's Holiday, carriage rides
with Santa, a Jingle Bell Jog and one of the best
Christmas parades in North Carolina, the holidays
are almost upon us and everyone downtown is
getting into the spirit!
The day after Thanksgiving has become a
Fayetteville favorite to spend downtown.
A Dicken's Holiday, celebrating its 10th
anniversary, will be presented by the Arts Council
with the Downtown Alliance on Friday, Nov. 27
from 1 to 9 p.m. The Gilbert Theatre will be out
and about presenting characters from A Christmas
Carol, photos will be available with Father
Christmas, hot cider and gingerbread will be
offered for a bit of Christmas cheer and carriage
rides will be rounding the corner with a decorated
horse-drawn hitch wagon!
There are more activities for everyone
including a gingerbread house contest to be held
at the Rainbow Room from 1 to 5 p.m. with
professional chefs creating details for each house.
Spectators are welcome and votes are as well
with a "People's Choice Award" to be given at
9 p.m. Also, for the little ones, children can
create an original ornament to hang on the
community tree or take home for a keepsake at
Fascinate-U Children's Museum. As always, carolers will
line the streets and live entertainment will be hosted at the
Arts Council Building and at the Metropolitan Room.
Truly a magical moment, a candlelight procession and
tree lighting ceremony will be held at 5:30 p.m. with a
special performance by the Gilbert Theater and
appearances from Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens.
It is an amazing sight when the thousands of candles are
