LAKEPORT, Calif. — The Lakeport Main Street Association is planning to kick off the holiday season with its Dickens Fair and Christmas Market later this month.

The fourth annual Dickens Fair takes place from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 27, in downtown Lakeport.

In 2016 the Lakeport Main Street Association was asked to bring back the Dickens Fair to downtown Lakeport and the group reports that it is pleased that the event has been growing each year since.

The association’s aim is that the Dickens Fair becomes a “must attend event'' for not only Lake County residents, but for visitors that seek out this small town as a holiday destination.

The fair has grown over the years with the addition of a sledding hill and many activities for young and old.

A highlight is the lighting of the holiday tree in Museum Park, where dozens were gathered singing holiday favorites and awaiting the countdown to light it up.

In 2021 organizers are looking forward to presenting a Dickens Fair that has lots of activities for “kids” of all ages.

They will offer the sledding hill, cookie decorating, kids crafts, kids games, a snow globe for cute family pictures, a pet parade, costume contest, an ugly sweater contest, strolling carolers, craft vendors, food vendors, beverages for sale, dance performances, doughnut walk, photos with Santa and music all day.

There will be plenty of shopping available with vendors and downtown businesses.

The tree lighting will take place at 5:30 p.m. with none other than Santa himself.
