A Dickens Holiday

01/15/2026

Hear ye, hear ye! 📜 Tonight, our very own 2026 Town Crier Dr Brian King will be at Bound & Vine for book signings! A perfect pairing of stories, wine, and good cheer. 🍷📚

Did you know laughter can actually lower your blood pressure and reduce stress hormones? It’s science, and it’s exactly how we plan to tackle our New Year’s resolutions this year!

We are counting down the days until we welcome local favorite Dr. Brian King to Bound & Vine. If you haven’t grabbed your spot yet for Humor, Health, and New Year Happiness, now is the time.

Dr. King isn’t just a best-selling author of The Art of Taking It Easy and Of Bears and Weight Loss; he’s a psychologist who traded the couch for the comedy stage. He understands that the path to wellness doesn’t have to be a grind—it can be a joy.

Join us for an evening that promises:
✨ An inspiring author chat on positive behavior change
✨ A chance to meet Dr. King and get your books signed
✨ A community of neighbors cheering you on for 2026

Let’s fill this year with more giggles and less guilt. Come find your balance with us!

Friday night, the spirit of Dickens stepped beyond the streets of downtown and onto the ice.

Thanks to our friends at the Fayetteville Marksmen , Scrooge and Marley came to life at the Crown Coliseum through short skits, joyful encounters, and photo moments throughout the hockey game.

It was a reminder that Dickens’ story is meant to be lived aloud — through character, kindness, and shared moments that invite us back to downtown - where the tale truly unfolds.

A Dickens Holiday returns the day after Thanksgiving 2026.

Until then, may the season linger just a little longer.
