Editor’s Note: It appears that the Dickens: A Family Holiday Event was a one time event and is no longer being held. For more Dickens-like Christmas wonder, visit one of these Christmas towns in Colorado that could certainly fit right in a Charles Dickens holiday adventure.

You have heard the story more times than you can count and have maybe even seen the live production and/or the movie, but have you ever wondered what it would be like to celebrate Christmas Charles Dickens-style? No need to wonder, as Colorado will soon be partying like it is 1843 via the upcoming Dickens: A Family Holiday Event:

Taking place Saturday, December 11th, 2021, is the one-time-only "Dickens: A Family Holiday Event," which invites you to "transport yourself to the age of Dickens for this holiday immersive adventure."

Located at Denver's iconic Four Mile Historic Park, Dickens will transport you and your family to a simpler time of carolers, Victorian garb, and chestnuts roasting on an open fire, all of which is slated to take place during the event.

In addition to all of the above, this Family Holiday Event will also boast storytime with Charles Dickens, a holiday market, tons of delicious food and drinks, ice skating, and other various surprises.
