By Melissa Farrell

On December 7th & 8th, 2024, the Village of Port Jefferson will transform into a charming Dickensian wonderland for the 28th Annual Charles Dickens Festival. Presented by the Greater Port Jefferson-Northern Brookhaven Arts Council, this free event brings the holiday spirit to life with music, theater, and family-friendly activities that honor the legacy of Charles Dickens.

With strolling characters like Scrooge, chimney sweeps, and Father Christmas, Port Jefferson becomes a living stage reminiscent of the 19th century. Visitors from across the country and beyond are invited to join this festive celebration of community, literature, and the holiday season.
