Each year, on the first Tuesday of December, downtown Northport is quite the festive location with Dickens Downtown.

This year, Dickens Downtown will host its first parade which will start at Kentuck Park at 4:15 p.m. and continue towards Northport, breaking up at Mary's Cakes, according to the Dickens Downtown Facebook page. Following the parade, festivities will continue downtown. The Victorian Christmas celebration includes caroling, period decorations, characters, and even snow!

The streets of downtown Northport will be closed to motor vehicles, but horse-drawn carriages are welcome for travel as the spirit of Christmas old fills the streets with musical groups and other activities. Fun for the entire family at Dickens Downtown!
