It's time once again to view spectacular holiday homes - for a good cause. The Sandpipers organization will host its 32nd Annual Holiday Homes Tour
event from Friday through Sunday, December 6-8. The tour will showcase
three homes in the South Bay that are decorated for the holidays by
local artisans and florists.
In addition to the home tour, all community members
can visit a holiday marketplace boutique and cafe located at the Neptunian Woman's Club
in Manhattan Beach throughout the weekend. The boutique and cafe will offer shopping and
refreshments from local businesses, featuring gourmet food, wine,
jewelry, clothing, and home décor for holiday gifts.
Tickets can be purchased in advance for $40 here, or for $45 on the weekend of the event. No tickets are needed for the holiday marketplace and cafe. Proceeds from the tour benefit Sandpipers' charitable programs and 25% of the purchases from the holiday market go back to Sandpipers.
Tour hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Sunday (with the marketplace staying open until 2:00 p.m.)
Directions to the homes will be given to tour-goers upon confirmation of ticket purchase. All tour-goers over the age of five will need a ticket; guests ages five and under need to be carried or hand-held throughout the tour.
