Against a backdrop of vintage Victorian architecture, Galveston’s Strand National Historic Landmark District (only 50 miles from downtown Houston) offers the perfect setting for the 34th Annual Dickens on The Strand festival.
With 150-200 costumed vendors on hand to peddle their wares and serve their fare, the event has become a shopper’s paradise, and each year serves up ample portions of art, craft and fine food items for more than 50,000 Dickens revelers.
To learn more about becoming a vendor at this magical event, please contact Galveston Historical Foundation at 409-765-7834 or peggy.clark@galvestonhistory.org.
