Celebrating its 18th season, this unique event invites visitors to step back in time to experience the charm and nostalgia of old-world England. From November 1 through December, the historic downtown of Cambridge becomes a living exhibition of the Victorian era, complete with lifelike figures and picturesque scenes.

Experience the Magic of the Victorian Era:

The Dickens Victorian Village is not just an event; it's a journey into the heart of Victorian England. Stroll along Wheeling Avenue, adorned with over 92 scenes and 180 lifelike figures that bring to life the classic Dickensian world. Each scene, stationed between 6th and 11th Streets, captures the essence of the Victorian era, from Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim to street peddlers and carolers.

A Spectacular Display of Art and History:

What sets this event apart is its incredible attention to detail. The life-sized, hand-made mannequins are dressed in real vintage clothing, with faces sculpted and painted by local artists. As you walk the streetscape, you'll be immersed in engaging depictions that seem frozen in time. The historic National Road/Route 40 serves as the perfect backdrop, featuring original buildings from the 1800s.
