The 42nd Annual West Central Neighborhood Home & Garden Tour is almost upon us! Each year, visitors are awestruck by historic architecture, inspired by stylish interiors, and amazed by beautiful gardens.

This year, the tour will feature 10 historic homes from the 19th and 20th centuries in an effort to promote neighborhood revitalization and historic preservation.

Enjoy free trolley rides around the neighborhood or enjoy the ambiance and beauty of our neighborhood as you stroll our tree-lined streets.

Don't miss out on our bustling ArtsFest, a free event where you can browse exhibitor tents, grab lunch at one of the many food trucks, and listen to live music.

Various neighborhood artists will open their homes and studios for art demonstrations and art sales as part of the weekend's festivities. These Art Spaces are a reflection of our history as a neighborhood of artists, and are free to drop into during your visit.

ArtsFest - Free!

The streets of West Central come alive with regional arts and crafts exhibitors and free live music. There will also be an array of food trucks serving up lunch and dinner, along with a cash bar. You do not need a home tour ticket to attend ArtsFest - it's free for everyone!

Music will take place on a stage at the corner of Union and W. Wayne. Free parking is available at the locations listed above.

For the third year in a row, we will also be featuring Art Spaces, which are resident artists who have opened their home, yard, or studio to the public.
