                          WHEREAS, The Galveston Historical Foundation is sponsoring 
         
            the 50th annual Dickens on the Strand event from December 1-3, 2023; 
         
            and
         
                          WHEREAS, One of the state's most enduringly popular holiday 
         
            traditions, Dickens on the Strand was established to celebrate 
         
            Galveston's Victorian architecture, and it played a significant 
         
            role in the recognition of the Strand as a National Historic 
         
            Landmark; and
         
                          WHEREAS, The street festival appeals to a wide range of 
         
            visitors and area residents with its family programming and its 
         
            presentation of live entertainment on four stages; strolling 
         
            carolers, roving musicians, bagpipers, jugglers, and others in 
         
            Victorian garb help evoke the sights and sounds of Charles Dickens' 
         
            stories, most notably the beloved A Christmas Carol; this year, 
         
            children can explore a new addition, Tiny Tim's Play Land; among the 
         
            special offerings are a cricket match and play performances; and
         
                          WHEREAS, From rolling carts and street stalls, vendors peddle 
         
            food, drink, and a wide variety of wares, including holiday 
         
            decorations, Victorian-inspired crafts, clothing, jewelry, and 
         
            gift items; costumed revelers enjoy parades, contests, and even bed 
         
            races, as well as encounters with characters in 19th-century garb, 
         
            among them actors portraying Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, Father 
         
            Christmas, and Dickens himself; many descendants of Charles Dickens 
         
            will be in attendance; and
         
                          WHEREAS, Dickens on the Strand has been a highlight of the 
         
            Galveston calendar for half a century, bringing the community 
         
            together and drawing people from across Texas and beyond, and it is 
         
            truly a pleasure to join in celebrating this significant milestone 
         
            in the history of the festival; now, therefore, be it
         
                          RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas 
         
            Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 50th annual 
         
            Dickens on the Strand and extend sincere best wishes for continued 
         
            success to all those involved in the event.
