Dickens Christmas a fun two days

Once again downtown Mount Pleasant will be full of holiday fun and Christmas cheer.

For more than 20 years the Dickens Christmas has been a time for fun in downtown Mount Pleasant.

The two day event will kick off Friday night. There will be everything from familiar Christmas characters wandering the downtown streets to horse drawn carriage rides.

There will be fun the little ones too, with Santa’s workshop opening Friday night at 5 p.m.

Downtown resident, Chase Dicken expects the weekend to be a great family fun weekend for the whole family.

Dicken who has been to the festival for the past few years says, “It was a lot more fun than I expected the first time I went, and the great downtown atmosphere keeps drawing me back.”

The fun and events will continue on Saturday with a run put on by Mount Pleasant striders.

After the run there will also be a pancake breakfast at the Sacred Heart Middle School from 8 a.m. to noon.

The downtown will have several other events going on throughout the day, everything from children’s games to quilt raffles and concerts.

Chase Berry, a Brass Café employee expects it will be a busy weekend for the Brass.

“I know there are sleigh rides that you can sign up for at the Brass and I look forward to it being a busy weekend.”
