36th Annual Sanford Holiday Tour of Homes

Step into the magic of the holidays and experience one of Sanford’s most beloved traditions! The 36th Annual Holiday Tour of Homes invites you to celebrate the charm, beauty, and spirit of the season with a self-guided driving tour through some of our city’s most enchanting neighborhoods — Mayfair, Sanford Heights, and the Historic District.

 What to Expect
From 12 PM to 9 PM, enjoy a festive journey through a hand-picked selection of beautifully decorated homes, each adorned in its own unique holiday splendor.
From cozy historic cottages to striking modern designs, you’ll discover stunning seasonal décor, architectural treasures, and the timeless charm that makes Sanford shine during the holidays.

 Don’t Miss the Holiday Market!
Start your day early and visit the Holiday Market at Palmetto Ave and 1st Street, open from 9 AM to 4 PM in partnership with Project Sanford.

Browse a curated collection of local artisan goods, festive finds, and delicious holiday treats — perfect for gifting or simply soaking up the spirit of the season.

PLUS – experience a little extra Christmas magic for the kids! Our friends at Christmas Dreams who bring Christmas all year long to children battling life-threatening illnesses, will be joining us with their heart-warming Christmas Is Coming experience — featuring cookie decorating with Mrs. Claus, a Tinker Shop for creating keepsakes, and a cozy Santa mancave visit!
