Dickens Christmas Festival This year come celebrate the 18th annual Dickens Christmas Festival at the The Shops On West Ridge.The Dickens Christmas Festival is the highlight of the calendar year here at The Shops. This year the festival kicks off on Saturday November 5. Our opening weekend will feature all the great fun that makes the festival a Rochester tradition for many families. Live choral groups singing traditional carols, The Olde London Town Street complete with Scrooge and Marley’s office and of course all your favorite Christmas Carol characters. Tiny Tim, The Ghosts of past, present, and future, Father Christmas, and of course Scrooge himself.

The festival is all indoors and there is no charge to attend. If you’ve never shopped the co-op during the holiday time, you’re missing out on a real holiday treat. All the staff is dressed in turn of the century attire and the entire TheShops is decorated with greens, lights and color. There is no place that is more fun to shop during the Christmas season than The Shops.

If you, like many, become frustrated when trying to find something unique for that special someone on your giving list, The Shops is your solution. The Shops has over 100,000 unique items and don’t let our name fool you. Especially during Christmas time, The Shops has so much more than crafts and antiques. At the co-op you will find hundreds of new Christmas gift ideas from Department 56 to beautiful home accents which make wonderful gifts. We have unique handmade items from over 40 local artisans who call the co-op home. If you want to get away from the same old same old you find at the mall, the Shops is the place for you.

So make a date and plan to join us this year for our annual Dickens Christmas Festival. During the months of November and December we expand our schedule to accommodate your hectic schedule. Please note the attached calendar to make sure the co-op will be open when you plan your trip.

Merry Christmas To All and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!
