Take BART to the Great Dickens Christmas Fair

Charles Dickens fans can check out a "Victorian Christmas card come to life" at the Great Dickens Christmas Fair, running four weekends at the Cow Palace starting Friday, Nov. 25, and continuing through Saturday, Dec. 18.

You can wander the lanes of Victorian London with the scent of pine boughs and freshly baked scones floating in the air and the sound of carolers and holiday merrymakers accompanying your stroll.  Toast to the holidays at Fezziwig's Warehouse. Rest a spell in Cuthbert's Tea House, for a sip of hot tea and cucumber sandwiches. Visit shops bedecked with Christmastime finery and filled with unique treasures, enjoy rollicking entertainment on six stages and in the street, and feast on fine foods from the British Empire and beyond.

Take BART to the Glen Park Station to catch a free shuttle to the fair, and show your BART ticket or Clipper Card at the door to get a $5 discount on one adult ticket.
