Description
Kick off the holidays at the Dickens Festival in Downtown Plano!
There’s no better way to welcome the holiday season than with twinkling lights, hot cocoa in hand, and festive cheer filling the air—and you’ll find it all at Dickens, a free, family-friendly holiday celebration happening Saturday, December 6, from 4 pm to 9pm in the historic Downtown Plano Arts District.
Dickens transforms the heart of Downtown Plano into a charming, old-fashioned winter wonderland. Bring the whole family and explore:
- Photos with Santa & the Grinch
- Snow Slide
- Dickens Mural Painting
- Coffee and Cocoa Walk
- Children’s Entrepreneur Market
- Tree Lighting Ceremony
- Reading “The Polar Express” at the Interurban Railway Museum
- Kids Crafts
Food and drinks will be available for purchase from local vendors and food trucks.
Whether it’s your first time or an annual outing, Dickens is a magical way to make memories with your family. Best of all? It’s completely free to attend.
This free event is located in Haggard Park, McCall Plaza and on a limited section of 15th Street in Downtown Plano. Free parking is available at the Plano Municipal Center (1520 K Avenue) and public lots off 14th Street.
