Garrison, North Dakota
 

Garrison’s Dickens Village Festival will delight and entertain families from across North Dakota, eastern Montana and southern Canada at the annual Dickens Festival.

The event turns a community of 1,500 into a quaint Victorian town from the era of Charles Dickens’ "A Christmas Carol." Beginning Thanksgiving week, the Dickens Village Festival runs three consecutive Fridays and Saturdays and the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

As the official Christmas Capitol of North Dakota, Garrison and its Dickens Village Festival are a must for anyone who wants to turn the holiday season into a special experience year after year.
