Experience Historic Chestertown’s
Victorian Holiday Extravaganza

Step back into 1840’s London and experience the holiday season as Charles Dickens imagined it.

This two day event includes carriage rides, entertainment, home tour,
food, book talks, merchandise, and more.

And don’t forget to come dressed like the dickens!

Join us in the charm of the holiday season!

Main Street Chestertown welcomes thousands of residents and visitors
for its annual Dickens of a Christmas during this two-day celebration of the season. 

Christmas, and the end of the year, is definitely a time when people try their hardest to begin afresh, a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.

– Charles Dickens
