Dickens Festival On Main Street In Medford, NJ On December 06, 2025

On Saturday night, December 06, 2025, Main Street in Medford, New Jersey hosted its massively-popular Charles Dickens Festival.  The event saw a huge turnout with certainly 10,000+ attendees.  There was much to see and do at this festival: fake snow shooting into the air, multiple areas with the Dickens Festival banner backgrounds for photo opportunities, a sleigh to sit in, two horses pulling a wagon, pony rides, animals in a Nativity display, several groups of carolers and musicians, people on stilts, magicians, an area for ice skating, historic homes, stores, The Grinch with The Grinch Mobile and much more.  To me, this was an incredible experience.  Indeed a five-star event.

An absolutely packed itinerary as you can see:

I saw three of these Dickens Festival banner backgrounds on Main Street:

A sleigh for sitting:

Animals at the Nativity display.  The sheep in the front was chewing while staring at me.  It was hilarious.

A great party took place at The Medford Memorial Community Center (built between 1835 and 1860; renovated in the 1900s and 1950s):

One of the highlights of the evening - a machine producing fake snow:

The Medford Dickens Festival is held on the first Saturday of December.  I already have 2026's date on my list.
