Dickens christmas 2025

Saturday, December 6, 2025, 10:30am- 4:30pm

Don't be a scrooge! Join us for the third annual Dickens Christmas Experience at Arvada United Methodist Church. This is an all ages community event to celebrate the holiday season, the life of AUMC and the greater Arvada community. This interactive event hosts a number of activities for folks of all ages and interests. From musical performances, children’s crafts, theatrical guides and skits, professional photos with Victorian Santa, holiday stew and other festive bites, a gift market with local vendors/artisans, and more- there will be holiday enjoyment for all!

This event is free to attend. On-site parking is also free and easily accessible in our large parking lot at the front of the campus on the corner of 68th and Carr Street. Bah Humbug!
