Westfield Dickens Days has become a tradition that continues to bring visitors to the Whip City from all over the region. From the new Lanternlight Parade that lights the Westfield Green to a wonderful community theatre version of A Christmas Carol to a SNOWFIRE celebration with cocoa cookies and the retelling of a new children’s book around a roaring Dickens Days fire will delight.

The concept of Westfield on Weekends is to present a series of signature events that reflect a theme that is augmented with a calendar with events that are produced by city non-for-profit organizations, institutions, businesses and churches. The scope and size of Westfield Dickens Days 2008 demonstrates a community working together.

Some of organizations who have helped to create Dickens Days events: The Westfield Business Improvement District (WBID), Westfield Athenaeum, Amelia Park Children’s Museum, Amelia Park, the Westfield Athenaeum Boys’ and Girls’ Library, Western Hampden Historical Society, the Westfield Theatre Group, the City of Westfield, and the Westfield State College Foundation and Westfield On Weekends.
