Sanford Historic Trust Holiday Tour of Homes

Step into the magic of the holidays and experience one of Sanford’s most beloved traditions! The 36th Annual Holiday Tour of Homes invites you to celebrate the charm, beauty, and spirit of the season with a self-guided driving tour through some of our city’s most enchanting neighborhoods — Mayfair, Sanford Heights, and the Historic District.

Start your day early and visit the Holiday Market, open from 9 AM to 4 PM in partnership with Project Sanford.
Browse a curated collection of local artisan goods, festive finds, and delicious holiday treats — perfect for gifting or simply soaking up the spirit of the season.

The Christmas Dreams Experience
We’re thrilled to welcome Christmas Dreams, the nonprofit organization that brings Christmas magic to children facing life-threatening illnesses throughout the year.

At this year’s Tour, you’ll get a special look at their heartwarming Christmas Is Coming experience — complete with:
Baking with Mrs. Claus
Toy-making in the Tinker Shop
Santa's workshop
It’s pure holiday magic and an inspiring reminder of the joy this season brings.

Plan Your Visit

Begin your day at the Sanford Museum, where you’ll check in and receive your wristband, tour map, and program.
Because homes are located throughout several neighborhoods, driving between locations is recommended.

Parking is available near each group of homes.
Walking between neighborhoods is not advised due to distance.
Golf carts are welcome! (No public transportation provided this year.)
