check site (some events ticketed)
By Simir Shah
Downtown Riverside turns Victorian for a weekend, with costumed Dickens and steampunk characters, authors, musicians and vendors. The festival, now in its 30s, also holds a Queen's Tea and a Pub Night, and it runs educational outreach for schools. Dress-up is welcome and part of the fun for kids.
