Dickens Fair, SF

The Dickens Fair is back, Nov. 26-Dec 19, from 11-7pm, at the Cow Palace, SF, CA
Adult tickets are $25pp, through Dec. 5th you can save $5 per ticket.
If you have never been you should do this at least once.  It's a unique experience, kind of like a Renn Faire but with less dirt.  See some shows, shop the streets and eat, eat, eat.

Here is what the site has to say:
The bustling streets of London, immortalized for all time by the mighty pen of Charles Dickens, form the living backdrop of your excursion into Christmas Past. You are a living part of a Victorian Christmas card come to life!

Created by Ron & Phyllis Patterson, the fair is now produced by Kevin & Leslie Patterson & Red Barn Productions, who continue the family tradition of theatrical excellence through authenticity, participation, and playfulness.
Come wander the lanes of Victorian London, as the glow of twilight settles upon the city, with the scent of pine boughs & freshly baked scones floating in the air and the sound of carolers and holiday merrymakers accompanying your stroll.
  • London is larger this year - over 120,000 square feet to explore!
  • Visit shops bedecked with Christmastime finery and filled with unique treasures.
  • Stop in for a hot toddy or a pint of Lagunitas at Mad Sal's Dockside Ale House, where the low-life hang out and the high-born drop in.
  • Raise a champagne toast to the holidays at Fezziwig's Warehouse, the most cheerful spot in London.
  • Enjoy rollicking entertainments on six stages and in the streets.
  • Feast on fine foods from the British Empire and beyond.
  • Rest a spell in Cuthbert's Tea House, for a sip of hot tea and cucumber sandwiches or scones.
  • Experience the joys of Christmas past at the Great Dickens Christmas Fair!
