The West End Association is excited to host the Holiday Homes Tour. The tour will present five West End historic residences and three historic homes now occupied by businesses.

The WEA Holiday Homes Tour, which began in 1976, is a community-developed event that provides access inside historical homes and buildings through the West End neighborhood. Taking place every other year in December, the Holiday Homes Tour also exposes attendees to seasonal decor throughout the neighborhood.

This event provides the public with the unique opportunity to visit beautifully preserved buildings that maintain architectural styles original to Winston-Salem and date as far back as the 1880s. The WEA is proud to run this event which is known for attracting attendees from across the state of North Carolina.

The Holiday Homes Tour provides financial support to the WEA (via ticket sales and sponsorship opportunities) that are integral to the association's operations in maintaining the health and well-being of the neighborhood. As a non-profit neighborhood association, public attendance goes a long way in helping the WEA to support the West End and its businesses.
