Dickens on the Strand
Dickens on the Strand is an annual Christmas festival organized by the Galveston Historical Foundation in Galveston, Texas occurring the first weekend in December.[1] Established in 1974 and set against the historical backdrop of Galveston's Strand, participants come to witness and relive the Charles Dickens era. Saturday features a parade featuring Queen Victoria and there is a costume contest on Sunday. Participants dressed in Victorian fashion are admitted for half price. Admission also includes access to the Elissa, a merchant vessel built in 1877.[1][2][3]
