Paz will be popping up and throwing down at the Dickens. Don’t forget to ask him for a free souvenir trading card after the show. – Named “one of the 21 most Canadian things you’ll ever see” – Buzzfeed The Farmer’s Daughter doesn’t let the season stop her. Molly has some winter harvest fun planned for shoppers of all ages. Spinning, throwing, and twirling all sorts of fun and festive light up toys, she spreads the cheer of the season as she wanders around Dickens, looking to give shoppers a unique memory this holiday season. Keep your eyes and ears out for Nik The Violin Kid. This talented teen will be roaming around Dickens serenading shoppers with their favorite holiday classics with his acoustic guitar. But wait, why is he playing a guitar instead of a violin? Ask Nik when you see him and he may just give you a small souvenir to remember the day by. | Sun Dec 11 Pop up Shows and Roving Performers Hamilton Aerial Group 12:30pm – 1:30pm Performing on stilts as Scrooge, Marley and the Ghost of Christmas Past Rip Chords Caroling from 12:30/1 to 3pm find them performing around King St The Hockey Circus Show The Farmers’ Daughter Show Nik the Violin Kid |
