This year’s 88th annual Georgetown House Tour will take place on Saturday, April 27th from 11am-5pm in Washington, DC’s most historic neighborhood. The House Tour, one of the oldest in the country, is sponsored by St. John’s Episcopal Church on O St. NW in Georgetown.
The self-guided tour features new and remodeled residences representing a variety of architectural styles. This is an excellent opportunity to see how great design impacts our quality of life through creativity, sustainability, and craft. The tGeorgetown House Tour will feature 8 homes. Although no two are alike, the common thread that unites all of them are the beautiful urban landscapes and gardens which surround each house.
“In its 88th year, the Georgetown House Tour has really become a signature St. John’s event that the whole community looks forward to and comes together to support and celebrate,” declared event Co-Chair Hannah Isles.
“This event brings together dozens of sponsors, hundreds of volunteers, gracious homeowners and a dedicated committee, to raise funds to support the ministries of St. John’s Church and make a meaningful impact in the lives of those that St. John serves,” added Co-Chair Kelly Stavish.
Since its inception in 1931, the Georgetown House Tour has raised several million dollars to support charities that serve those in-need in DC’s Georgetown community and beyond.
On Saturday, April 27th, homeowners will open their doors and gardens to Georgetown House Tour ticket holders from 11am to 5pm. Tickets for the House Tour include admission to a tea, a panel discussion regarding urban landscapes and entertainment at St. John’s Church.
Tickets may be purchased in advance online at: www.Georgetownhousetour.com, as well as on the day of the tour at St. John’s Episcopal Church Georgetown, 3240 O Street, NW, Washington, DC.
