Event websiteAbout this concert
Garrison’s Dickens Village Festival will delight and entertain families from across North Dakota, eastern Montana and southern Canada at the annual Dickens Festival.
The event turns a community of 1,500 into a quaint Victorian town from the era of Charles Dickens’. Beginning Thanksgiving week, the Dickens Village Festival runs three consecutive Fridays and Saturdays.
Live entertainment, specialty events including the Fruticake Toss, and Piccadilly Square Craft Vendor Show, street food vendors, street urchins and street carolers, a lighted Main Street parade at dusk and a theater production of "A Christmas Carol" are highlights of this festival that continues to increase in popularity. Ride on an authentic English double decker bus or enjoy a carriage ride. Each day offers entertainment of everything from top-drawer vocalists to tribute artists and comedy. Garrison merchants also join in the fun as employees dress up in their favorite Victorian garb to serve customers.
As the official Christmas Capitol of North Dakota, Garrison and its Dickens Village Festival are a must for anyone who wants to turn the holiday season into a special experience year after year.

Chris Basden Biography
Chris Basden's music, self-described as “songs for people who like today’s country, but liked ‘90s country more,” runs the gamut from soft spoken and vulnerable to raucous and bonfire-ready. His influences are many, but at his core is a love for everything country.
He discovered his passion for music at an early age, eschewing typical schoolboy friendships in favor of chasing simple melodies on his grandmother's old upright piano or, a few years later, writing his own song lyrics and singing them to anyone who would listen.
More recently, Chris has further refined his craft as a musician and songwriter, with thousands of hours under his belt performing as a sideman musician, band member, and solo artist. In the summer of 2023, Chris was chosen as the winner of the North Dakota State Fair Hometown Sound Competition.
