The 2024 Newburyport Holiday House Tour, a fundraiser supporting the Anna Jaques Hospital Aid Association is this Saturday, December 14th from 10am to 4pm. Purchase tickets on-line or purchase tickets in-person (cash or check accepted) at the Anna Jaques Hospital Gift Shop or Chococoa Baking Co. & Café at The Tannery Marketplace. Pick up your tour book at the Newburyport Senior Center at 331 High Street, where a Holiday Gift Market and Winter Wreath auction will be in full swing with live music and refreshments. The self-guided tour allows you to enjoy the full range of homes and outdoor décor in whatever order you choose.
The Holiday House Tour is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the magic of the holiday season with family or friends. This uplifting tour highlights history and other interesting details and stories for each of the beautifully decorated homes from High Street to High Road and beyond. Groupings in the North and South End highlight Newburyport’s signature Federalist and Greek Revival houses, plus architectural reproductions and contemporary updates to re-invigorate ideas of gracious living.
A beloved highlight of the Advent season, the Holiday House Tour is an occasion for friends and family to gather inspiration for winter entertaining of their own. The creativity of local florists and decorators displays the myriad of ways a home can be dressed up and decked out. From house to house, the panorama of bejeweled trees and festive greenery offers a glimpse of personalized traditions. Holiday tables are brimming with cheer before any meal is served, and there’s a sense that the stage is set for joyful get-togethers all over town.
Back at Newburyport’s spacious Senior Center, The Holiday Market and Wreath Auction offers gift ideas ranging from gingerbread to jewelry and many more. Enjoy this wonderful holiday shopping experience and preview the registered vendors, offering shoppers a variety of retailers and artisans representing many wonderful “finds” in one place.
Each year, the generosity of Newburyport’s homeowners and countless volunteers make the Holiday House Tour possible, all to benefit the Anna Jaques Hospital Aid Association. The welcome of Holiday House Tour visitors throughout the community also helps support the well-being of our cherished community hospital.
