Dickens on the Strand

Wednesday November 24, 2004
For more than three decades, characters from Charles Dickens’ novels have strolled Galveston’s historic Strand during the first weekend in December. Known as Dickens on the Strand, this holiday festival takes visitors back to the Victorian Era as street vendors with push carts work amongst carolers and street musicians, while children busy themselves at the Royal Menagerie Petting Zoo or make snow angels in the faux snow lining the street during the “Snow on Sunday.”
