Dickens on Centre Christmas Market and Holiday Festival was created several years ago to increase traffic during the holiday season in the historic downtown area of Fernandina Beach, building community interest and driving overnight visitation during the traditionally slow period of the second full weekend of December.
Join us December 11-14, 2025, for the annual Dickens on Centre Christmas Market and Holiday Festival in historic downtown Fernandina Beach. Throughout the weekend, enjoy costumed characters, themed entertainment, visits from Saint Nick, and a variety of vendors selling seasonal wares. Inspired by Charles Dickens’ novella,
“A Christmas Carol,” Dickens on Centre transforms downtown Fernandina into a classic English village!
The three-day Victorian inspired holiday festival is free to the public. Visit the links below for more information and to get involved. Check back for more updates!
