Many people I meet don't know what a fabulous event this is. The Great Dickens Christmas Fair is truly great! We went with the whole family. My kids loved it, my parents were totally into it and have decided to make it a family tradition. My brother and his girl friend went back a second time on thier own to hang out at Mad Sals Pub and to see the Saucy French Postcard Review. The Dickens Fair is a whole world unto itself. Lots of events say they have something for everyone. This one really does. I have never seen anything like it. We will be going back every year.

I have been coming to events at the Cow Palace for over 30 years. The staff is always courteous, the parking is always easy, and the experience of attending events there is truly historic. From JFK to the Beatles to the Greatful Dead on New Years eve, the Palace is the place where it all happened. I now bring my kids there to attend the annual Great Dickens Christmas Fair, the only event of it's kind in the world!
