Dickens of a Christmas



Downtown Lafayette - West Lafayette, Indiana
Dickens of a Christmas

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

The Lafayette - West Lafayette Development Corporation proudly presents the 11th Annual Dickens of a Christmas. 

The event will be held on Saturday, December 6th, 2008 on the streets and in the businesses of downtown Lafayette-West Lafayette. 

Join us as our downtown is transformed into Victorian England.  The festivities run from 10 AM to 6 PM.  Throughout the day, there will be live performances by choirs and entertainers, roving carolers, Holiday Farmers’ Market, Riverside Skating Rink sessions, artisans in costume demonstrating their craft, carriage rides, and of course, the Dickens and Victorian street characters announced and directed by town criers and a constable or two!  Make sure you take advantage of the many “Dickens specials” by downtown restaurants and merchants.

Meet the Dickens characters as they enact the last scene from A Christmas Carol at Riehle Plaza and join in the Community Sing as we officially “kick off” the holiday season by “flipping the switch” to light the Courthouse Dome, Riehle Plaza, Big Four Depot, and the Community Tree.

Downtown restaurants will be open for dinner, and many downtown merchants will stay open late to allow for additional shopping opportunities.
