When it's dark, gloomy and rainy it's always good to have something bright to look forward to. And this Saturday, that's the Dickens Festival. Held every year in the Stadium District, this is a festival that links the shops and businesses from Rankos through to The Grand Cinema with entertainment worthy of Mr. Pickwick. From 10:30 am-5:30 pm there's live music, a marionette show (though no Punch and Judy this year, alas), magicians, a fascinating-sounding walking ballgown by artist Lynn DiNino, carriage rides and a screening of "Oliver" at The Grand. And it's all free, except for the Dickens Ball in the evening ($40 tickets.)
Indoor/Outdoor multiple location event. 2010 DATE NOT CONFIRMED
