Dickens on the Square Returns

Dickens on the Square is celebrating its 31st year in Downtown Macomb Friday, December 5th, and Saturday, December 6th. This Victorian style Christmas experience will feature horse-drawn trolley rides, live reindeer, visits with Santa, living window displays, singing carolers, the Children’s Shopping Mall, and more! The holiday magic will begin Friday evening at 6:17pm with Santa’s arrival to Macomb aboard the Santa Zephyr Express.

“For more than three decades, Dickens on the Square has captured the heart of the Macomb community,” said Marketing and Downtown Development Director Savannah Ballard. “We’re proud to continue this special celebration and invite everyone to experience the joy of the season in our historic downtown.”
