Avondale Estates Christmas Tour of Homes

Sunday, December 13, 2009
3:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.  - Tour
12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. - Holiday Market & Cafe

The 17th annual Avondale Estates Christmas Tour of Homes, sponsored by the Avondale Community Club, will take place on Sunday, December 13 from 3:00 to 8:00 pm. The tour features eight homes that have been sensitively restored or renovated to preserve the character of our historic city. Other points of interest on the tour are a “summer cottage dressed for Christmas” and the sanctuary at the Avondale Baptist Church showcasing its members’ nativity scenes. 

Before touring the homes, be sure to come by the Holiday Market & Cafe at the Avondale Community Club (59 Lakeshore Drive) and hopefully, find the perfect gift for everyone on your list.  An autographed book signed by one of Avondale's award winning authors may be just the thing.  Other items you won’t want to miss include Grits Bits, art, soaps, lotions, jewelry, bottle stoppers, doggie treats, bird houses and much more. While you shop, enjoy some delicious soup and hot apple cider at the Market Café.

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 in the homes , creating something for the market, sponsoring the tour as corporate sponsors or as Christmas “angels,” or just enjoying touring the homes.

Tickets may be purchased for $12 in advance at Avondale Antiques, Avondale City Hall, Finders Keepers Furniture, REAL Salon and Seventeen Steps or for $15 on the day of the tour at the Avondale Community Club. For more information, contact Margaret Lunsford at 404-299-9021 or view our web site at avondaletourofhomes.com.
