The majestic iron-front buildings found in Galveston’s historic downtown district will make the perfect backdrop for the 46th annual Dickens on The Strand. This holiday street festival transforms the area, particularly Strand Street, into the Victorian London of Charles Dickens complete with costumed characters, street performers and vendors, parades, holiday food and drink, Victorian-inspired crafts, and more. Each year, descendants of Charles Dickens travel from London to be a part of the festivities, and attendees are encouraged to join in the fun by dressing in period costumes.
