Join us for an enchanting weekend in historic Washington-Wilkes for our annual Christmas Tour of Homes & Holiday Dinner. The weekend begins on Friday evening, December 11th at 5:00pm as visitors stroll down our charming tree lined streets to visit private homes dressed for the season and warmed by candlelight. On Saturday, Dec. 12th beginning at 10:00am visitors can tour private residences, farms and commercials spaces located in both the city & the county before enjoying a private candlelight cocktail party on the square and a delicious holiday dinner in a historic home. We are pleased to announce that our three course holiday dinner will be prepared by local chef, Aaron Rothman, of Holly Court Inn.

Houses featured on this year's tour will be announced shortly. Please note that the Friday Night Candlelight Tour & the Saturday Town & Country Tour each offer a different collection of houses to tour. There are no repeated homes on tour either day.

Tickets are now available for purchase on-line at http://www.historyofwilkes.org/events.html

A number of special events are also being coordinated for Tour weekend including carriage rides, a Holiday Bazaar on the Square, surprise guest appearances, a gingerbread competition, The Washington Little Theater's production of "A Tuna Christmas" and much more!

Visitors of all ages are welcome!
