Franklin will hold its 32nd annual Dickens of a Christmas on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 11 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.Sponsored this year by Nissan, the free street festival will recreate the time of Charles Dickens using historic downtown Franklin’s Victorian architecture as the backdrop. Some 200 musicians, dancers and characters will fill the streets, including several from Charles Dickens stories. Expect to see and interact with the nefarious Fagin from “Oliver Twist;” Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim Cratchit with his parents from “A Christmas Carol;” and of course, a Victorian Father and Mother Christmas with treats for children.As more attention is turned toward downtown Franklin in both the local and national press, city officials encourage festival-goers to dress in Victorian costume and to add to the ambiance as they stroll the streets.This year’s event will reprise a crowd favorite from last year: It WILL snow at Dickens of a Christmas.
