A Message About the 2026 Holiday Tour of Homes

The Holiday Tour of Homes has long been a cherished holiday tradition in Albemarle, and it is only possible because of neighbors who open their homes to the community. With only one home committed this year, the leadership of Albemarle Downtown made the decision to take a year off. Moving forward, the tour will be held every other year, beginning in 2027.

There is good news to share. Our Landmark Lounge series, featuring tours of historic downtown theatres, has been very popular. Proceeds from this successful event series will allow us to continue supporting our small business grants and downtown revitalization efforts this year, without interruption.

If you are interested in opening your home in 2027, please contact Louisa Jane Hartsell, Administrative & Events Coordinator, at [email protected].
We are deeply grateful to the homeowner who committed to this year's tour and to our sponsors for their continued support.

There are many ways to enjoy the holiday season downtown:
• An Albemarle Downtown Christmas, Friday, December 4, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, with a tree lighting, pictures with Santa, performances, and businesses open late
• The Albemarle Christmas Parade, Saturday, December 12, at 4 PM
• New Christmas streetlight ornaments downtown

We are excited for a wonderful holiday season, and we thank you for your continued support of downtown Albemarle.
