The Dickens of a Christmas event on Franklin's Historic Main Street brings the joy and charm of an old-fashioned Victorian Christmas recreated from the pages of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and other Dickens' tales. More than 200 volunteers participate in the event as characters from Dickens' stories or street performers. Activities include:

• Dancers and street musicians perform are on the streets throughout the event. Violinists, hand bell choirs, harpists, carolers, pianists, even a water harmonica player all add to the entertaining street scene.
• Victorian treats abound, from authentic fish 'n' chips to turkey legs, plum puddings, roasted chestnuts and sugar plums.
• A holiday bazaar arts & crafts area encircles Franklin's charming Public Square, where horse drawn carriages allow visitors to see Historic Downtown Franklin at a slower pace.
• Everyone is invited to join the Town Sing starting at the Public Square at 5:00pm.

Dickens of a Christmas is free and open to the public, supported by Publix Supermarkets, Franklin Road Academy, and the City of Franklin and presented by the Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County and Downtown Franklin Association, which seeks to protect and preserve the architectural, geographic and cultural heritage of Franklin and Williamson County and to promote the ongoing economic revitalization of downtown Franklin in the context of historic preservation.
