I live in Los Angeles area,in Calif. We have a group that does Victorian dances here They have 4 annual events consisting of "Grand Victorian Balls" and have a series of smaller events also.Have him google "Historic dance groups"or "Victorian Dance groups" We also have an annual event ,1 county over, commorating the birth of Charles Dickens. Its a 3 day event, a Pub Night, and 2 day street fest,all done with a Victorian theme. Visitors are encouraged to dress in Victorian garb, as are all the participants.. This same county has a Xmas event that is a progressive dinner served at restored Victorian homes,as a fund raiser for the Historic Preservation Society He may want to google Victorian Events in his area,and see what he comes up with. He can also contact any historical Societys in town,they may have leads for him. Melody

To: "H-Costume" <h-costume@mail.indra.com> Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2009, 5:05 AM A friend at work who is interested in Victorian literature asks whether there are Victorian-era civilian events that he could go observe in the Washington, DC area (he's not a reenactor). Any suggestions? It's out of the timeframe I usually do.
