Dickens Faire opens Christmas Season
"The Christmas season began Nov. 28 in Elk Grove: A rescue of Santa from atop an Elk Grove business, caroling, visits to Old St. Nick, a Parade of Lights, Christmas shopping fun and lighting the official Elk Grove Christmas Tree. The Elk Grove Yuletide Season came alive with the Dickens Faire in Old Town Elk Grove.
The spirit of an old-fashioned Christmas, highlighting the era of A Christmas Carol author Charles Dickens was brought to life by the Old Town Elk Grove Foundation.
Co-chairpersons of the event were Kristi Peck and Sasha Gareau. Peck said that preparations for the Dickens Faire gets under way many months before the event actually is held. Elk Grove Boulevard was closed for the events, but shuttles took visitors to featured locations.
A major feature of this year’s Dickens Faire was a free snow park"
