Before you wander through the annual Victorian wonderland called Dickens on Centre downtown this weekend, drop off your gift packages to be wrapped at Fernandina Main Street program’s wrapping station in front of the Historic Train Station at the foot of Centre and Front Streets.
Local volunteers will be wrapping gifts Friday, Dec. 9, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 10, from noon to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, Dec. 11, from noon to 7 p.m. For a donation benefiting Fernandina Main Street, you can go shopping, listen to music, dine at one of our locally owned restaurants or stroll the streets to take in the magic of Dickens on Centre while the Main Street elves help you out with your holiday tasks.
Fernandina Beach was designated a Main Street community in 2015 to enhance the economic vitality of our downtown, celebrate our unique character and preserve our local history. This is the group’s first fund-raising effort.
