Dickens of A Christmas

37th Annual Dickens of a Christmas presented by Wilson Bank & Trust and hosted by Downtown Franklin Association.

The 37th Annual Dickens of a Christmas, Middle Tennessee’s largest outdoor Christmas festival, returns this year.

The festival will recreate 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 event is hosted by the Downtown Franklin Association – A Division of the Heritage Foundation. Dickens of a Christmas and their two other signature events (Main Street Festival and Pumpkinfest), serve their mission and foster economic vitality for local businesses and visiting vendors, while creating beloved community events that enrich and preserve the historic charm and enduring spirit of the town.
