DICKENS FESTIVAL Saturday, December 5th, 2009

During the Dickens Festival, Main Street in Medford is magically transformed into a 19th century Victorian English Street.  With that in mind, imagine a street alive with strolling carolers, fun entertainment and characters in period clothing.  An entire community of friends and family coming together to enjoy one another's company and to melt into the joyous holiday season.  What's it like at Christmas time?  The Dickens Festival entertainment consists of the United Methodist Church and a live Nativity at Tomlinson Park.  Our ever famous Town Crier rings in the season with the ever anticipated arrival of Santa.  Santa arrives down Main Street in a horse drawn carriage.  And complimentary carriage rides are available through the back streets of Medford's historic village. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC GUIDE TO SMALL TOWN ESCAPES EXCERPT: "Pine garlands and twinkling white lights provide a Victorian touch to tiny Medford in early December, when the whole township crowds Main Street for the annual Dickens Festival celebration. A cool northerly wind sends aloft the sweet aroma of steaming apple cider and cinnamon, as bundled-up revelers, carolers, characters from a Christmas Carol, and musicians alike greet familiar faces, of which there are many. For that's the kind of place Medford is: a friendly tight-knit community where everyone knows everyone."
