Great Dickens Christmas Fair

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
Let's go living in the past...

A long-running, immersive San Francisco tourist attraction created in 1970 by the same people who pioneered the modern Renaissance Fair. The Dickens Fair recreates 19th century London in a landmark warehouse for four weekends following Thanksgiving. As the name suggests, Charles Dickens and his literary creations are featured heavily, but there are also plenty of other sights, sounds and even smells offered in terms of food, crafts, and entertainment. It's basically for people who feel that Renn Fairs are a little too far in the past, but Comic Con / Cosplay events are equally too modern/futuristic. That qualifies the Fair as a tourist trap, or the most fun you can have with too many clothes on...
