The most wonderful time of the year is upon us, and what better way to kick off the Yuletide season than with the Elk Grove Dickens Faire? Organized with pride by the Old Town Elk Grove Foundation, this cherished annual event marks the traditional commencement of the holiday festivities in Elk Grove. Held on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, the Dickens Faire promises a delightful and thrilling experience for the entire family.
From 10 am to 6 pm, Elk Grove Boulevard from 2nd Avenue to School Street will transform into a bustling wonderland filled with holiday cheer. Imagine strolling through Old Town, discovering charming local shops, listening to festive holiday music, and exploring over 125 arts and craft vendors, commercial vendors, and community groups. It’s the perfect opportunity to find unique gifts and support local artisans.
Hungry? You’re in for a treat! The Old Town Plaza will host a variety of food trucks, offering delectable holiday foods to satisfy every craving. And don’t forget to stop by the kids’ craft corner, where our young guests can enjoy free craft activities from 10 am to 4 pm. It’s a wonderful way to engage the little ones in the holiday spirit.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. This year, Santa will make a grand entrance with a dramatic rescue by our esteemed fire department. It’s a sight you won’t want to miss! Plus, there will be professional photo opportunities with Santa, so make sure to capture those magical moments.
