For one night during the holiday season, Main Street in Medford is magically transformed into a Victorian-era Christmas wonderland.

The festival typically attracts over 10,000 visitors from within Medford and many other surrounding towns. Admission to the festival is FREE and there are numerous forms of entertainment for all ages. Some of these exciting attractions include: music, food, stilt walkers, a magician, caricaturists, a story teller, jugglers, ice carvings, a live Nativity, a lighted house contest, and horse drawn carriages. For over 20 years, the Medford community has celebrated the holiday season with the Dickens Festival. The festival was organized by the Historical Medford Village Association in the past, but it is has been headed by the Medford Sunrise Rotary Club since the 2011 festival.
