Dickens Christmas

About

Dickens Christmas is a holiday event in Skaneateles, the village at the north end of Skaneateles Lake, where local businesses give a gift to the public each holiday season to thank everyone for their support throughout the year. Charles Dickens and a cast of more than 50 characters take over the streets.

The characters interact with residents and visitors in the streets, stores and restaurants. Lively acts at the library, live music, unique shopping, wonderful food and horse and wagon rides round out the day. It is a chance to step back in time and enjoy the holidays the old-fashioned way.
