The Great Dickens Christmas Fair

Last week end we visited the Great Dickens Christmas Fair. A very traditional event for San Franciscans, less known then the Nutcracker or the Beach Blanket Babylon (which we still haven't seen...)

It was really fun!  We went in the morning with friends.

We played games :

 We watched shows :

 We ate an amazing Fish and Chips (the best of the city, probably). And of course we did a little Christmas shopping.

The Fair is incredible. A very professional and very American thing : we paid quite a bit to be allowed to spend even more money inside (our food and our Christmas shopping).

:)

But, it was well worth it. The all included shows were amazing. We met a few performers and they were so very nice.. Teaching our daughter how to do a knot or playing with a home-made rabbit rag with our toddlers during one of the more adult show...

(Thank you).

And of course, there are all the visitors, like us, who came with their own costumes, making the fair even more amazing! (Thank you)

We left early, around 2pm. 

But I have been told the late afternoon fair is somewhat a must...

 

We will go back for sure!
