Avondale Estates Christmas Tour of Homes

Avondale ChristmasJoin Avondale Estates in the holiday spirit as the 31st Annual Avondale Estates Christmas Tour of Homes returns for 2023 – and this year, the trolleys are back to transport visitors to each home along the tour!

2023 Event Details
Sunday | December 10th
3:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Avondale Holiday Market
Noon – 6:00 p.m.

The homes on this year’s tour have been sensitively restored or renovated to preserve the character of Avondale’s historic city, spanning nearly 90 years of architecture. In past years, two of the Avondale “originals” were built when the city was established in 1926, alongside a 40s bungalow, two recently renovated 50s bungalows, and an entirely updated 60 two-story home. Attendees can also pick up a trolley for the tour at the Avondale First Baptist Church, which is included in the tour!

One of our favorite parts about this tour is nearly everyone in town participates in the tour and market –  either by opening their homes, decorating the city, volunteering as hosts and hostesses, playing music, entertaining visitors on the trolleys, creating something for the market, sponsoring the tour in whatever way possible, or even by enjoying the tour itself!

Tickets are available for $15 in advance or $20 the day of the tour.
