Anticipation Builds for ‘Dickens of a Christmas’ in Spartanburg

If you’re in Spartanburg, chances are you’ve started to noticed some road closures popping up here and there. But it’s not a cause for concern – it’s a cause for celebration! The City of Spartanburg has just started making preparations for the anticipated ‘Dickens of a Christmas’ event set to kick off in the downtown area tonight.

Planned to run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the festive event is a nod to the delightful tradition of celebrating Christmas in a style reminiscent of the era portrayed in Charles Dicken’s popular novel, ‘A Christmas Carol’. Road closures aimed at making the event safe and manageable began yesterday afternoon around 3 p.m. and have focused on areas in and around the parking lot between Smith Drugs and White Oak Management.

A Little Bit of Inconvenience for a Lot of Fun

Earlier this morning, around 11:30 a.m. the southbound lane of Church Street was closed off from St. John Street to Dunbar Street. But don’t worry, this is all temporary. Officials have reassured residents and visitors alike that all roads will be back to normal and reopened by 11:30 p.m. tonight, once the event concludes.

If you’re unsure about the road closures or have any questions, just give a quick call to Lt. McClure at (864) 909-5946. And for those curious about the event itself, the Special Events Office is ready to answer all your queries. You can reach them at (864) 596-3105.
