Ready for Holiday Cheer?

Garrison’s Dickens Village Festival will delight and entertain families from across North Dakota, eastern Montana and southern Canada. The event turns a community of 1,500 into a quaint Victorian town from the era of Charles Dickens’. The Dickens Village Festival runs Thanksgiving Weekend (Friday & Saturday) and the next two Friday & Saturday’s.
