Dickens Festival Holiday Craft Fair

The Dickens Festival Holiday Craft Fair is a beloved Braintree tradition held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. All Souls Church is transformed into a festive Victorian marketplace all decked out for the Christmas season. The Dickens Festival is a touchstone for the holidays that offers our community the gift of a traditional holiday experience filled with good cheer and good fun! The Annual Dickens Festival will take place on Saturday, November 22, 2025 The Dickens Festival is a unique entertainment and shopping experience with something for the young and young at heart. Admission is free and there are many things for sale. Be sure to visit Father Christmas (our Victorian Santa) for FREE. Bring your camera or cell phone. He will be seated at the back of the Sanctuary Market or visiting guests at the festival.&nbsp; Father Christmas is great with persons of all ages and abilities. Interact with costumed characters from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and join in singing with our carolers who gather several times throughout the day. Scrooge and the Ghost of Jacob Marley visit the halls. Shop at our Marketplaces where 22 of the best area artisans in Victorian costume sell their handcrafted goods.&nbsp;&nbsp; Take home an Apple Pie made in our church kitchen by the Baking Crew. Buy one to eat and one to freeze! Stock up on baked goods and take a chance on our lottery ticket raffle. Free cookies (limit two) for kids. The Dickens Festival is known for its fun atmosphere, unique gifts and quality, handmade merchandise. Come to the Dickens Festival for some old fashioned spirit to start off your holiday season!
