Mendo Lake Family Life

Get in the Dickens’ Spirit

Every year, Lakeport locals visit the 19th century. No, there is no DeLorian time machine that takes them to 1845. Instead, the Dickens’ Festival brings the Victorian era to downtown. Attendees are invited to dress in period costumes and peruse art and food booths, do crafts with their kids, listen to strolling minstrels, and even check out the sliding hill and elf treasure hunt. The event is slated for November 26, 11 a.m.–6 p.m., in downtown Lakeport, and will include photos with Santa (noon–4 p.m.) and a tree lighting (5:30 pm.). Learn more at tinyurl.com/3aryknjy.
