That “most wonderful time of the year” is here again!! And the best way to get into the spirit is by treating yourself to a special day in Historic Norcross. This is a celebration of the City’s charming past, a joyous preface to the holiday season, and an excellent excuse to spend the day with friends. The whole Historic District is decked out for the festivities, and you can enjoy it all at your leisure. There are quaint boutiques and charming restaurants in the downtown area, a perfect opportunity to relax and begin your holiday shopping. Then when you’re ready to Tour, stroll our sidewalks, or take a shuttle to see our homes. These are six of Norcross’ most beautiful residences, resplendent in holiday decor and vibrant with the sounds of live music. Whether you simply appreciate exceptional design and architectural details, or are looking for new ideas on how to decorate your own home, the diversity of styles and the seasonal finery are sure to delight.
Then at dusk, there’s a pause…..as the whole community joins in to light thousands of luminaries. It’s a breathtaking path, glowing and inviting, as it guides our guests through the evening Tour, now filled with candlelit romance.
All day and into the evening, the Historic Norcross Holiday Home Tour is a very special event, unique and wonderful in every way. We invite you to join us to experience all of Historic Norcross. More than a Tour, it’s a Tradition!!
