The Christmas Tour of Homes is an annual tradition, hosted by The Garden Club of St. Augustine since 1968.Tickets go on sale October 1st at $20 per ticket (purchased in advance) or $25 if purchased on the day of the Tour. Ticket numbers are limited so advanced purchase is strongly recommended.
In keeping with the Garden Club’s desire to share with the public the rich, historic aspects of St. Augustine, walk back in time and experience the charm, warmth and grandeur of the holiday season in the nation's oldest city.
Visit six private homes in the Historic Downtown dating from the 1800's.
The eye-catching seasonal decorations and floral arrangements throughout this walking Tour will be composed of natural materials, designed and hand crafted by members of The Garden Club of St. Augustine to support the decor of the individual home they grace.
Your ticket will include Afternoon Tea, and a visit to our “Unique Boutique” which will feature delicious homemade treats and beautifully hand designed items created by our members. Begin your Holiday shopping in earnest while enjoying Holiday refreshments.
The Tour begins at 12:00pm and ends at 5:00pm. The Tea and Boutique will be located in the Memorial Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, 36 Sevilla Street from 1:00PM.
Complimentary Red Trains will be available to transport guests to the homes and Afternoon Tea/Boutique location. The homes are located within walking distance of each other for those who enjoy a leisurely walk through the historic streets.
Parking is available at the Downtown Historic Parking Facility at a cost of $1.25 per hour, or $10.00 for all day.
A complimentary Red Train, marked "Christmas Tour of Homes" will transport guests to and from the Parking Facility and the homes.
