To our Dickens Fair Participant Community,
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s live and in-person Great Dickens Christmas Fair. The safety of our participants and the public is paramount, and while disappointing, we hope you understand that we’re taking this step to do our part in keeping our larger community safe.
What happens next?
As we work toward production of a full and festive return of The Great Dickens Christmas Fair in 2022, we will continue to find new ways to be creative and grow as a community throughout the next year. In lieu of our usual event, we are planning an outdoor ‘Drive Through Dickens’ (merchant and food sales, beautiful decor, select entertainments, etc.), as well as the return of the popular Dickens Fair At Home free online offering. More details will be forthcoming in a Missive later this month.
We are heartbroken that we are unable to gather as an ensemble to create another season of this amazing one of a kind event. Thank you to all the vendors and directors and many others who provided important feedback, key analysis, and other information to help us arrive at this difficult decision. We sincerely appreciate everyone who proposed ideas and shows, or applied to have a booth this season. Look for applications and audition notices to be available online in the Spring of 2022.
We’ll be processing refunds for those vendors who sent an application to participate in the 2021 Great Dickens Christmas Fair. If you have any questions or concerns please get in touch with us at office@dickensfair.com
