The Dickens' Festival is the most amazing craft show. Instead of regular booths there are "Olde English Shops." You stroll down "Old London Towne" and see period costumes, fortune tellers, and orphans. There is also fabulous food and entertainment. Visit the real Father Christmas! This is a festive event that you catch the spirit of Christmas.

Held at the Dixie Convention Center, 1835 Convention Center Drive in St. George, Utah.
