Each holiday season, Cambridge, Ohio is transformed into the Dickens era of merry olde England. The last Sunday morning in October, the 186 unique characters appear downtown and the “Magic” begins.
The streets fill with people young and old who come from near and far to experience the Victorian Village and view the light and music show at the Guernsey County Courthouse. These offerings are free and open to the public twenty four hours a day, seven days a week for an incredible ten weeks. The expenses involved in creating and maintaining this project are funded solely by donations from generous community minded individuals and businesses. Dickens Victorian Village is a 501C Organization so all donations are tax deductible.
Please consider supporting this unique holiday celebration by becoming a supporting member of the “Friends of Dickens”. Financial support from you, is crucial to keep this wonderful program alive and growing. Help us to maintain our status as “ The Most Unique Holiday Destination in the Midwest”.
Thank you for considering a gift that will last for generations and touch lives in ways that you may never know.
