28th Annual Balboa Island Holiday Home Walking Tour. This year we have six holiday decorated homes that will open their doors for the tour. Each one has its own style, so you’ll see everything from traditional Christmas trees, and wreaths to creative holiday displays and festive tables.
Guests may begin their tour at any participating home. Please keep in mind that this is a walking tour, rain or shine, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Street parking is limited, so we recommend carpooling, using a rideshare, or taking the ferry.
Tickets may be purchased today online, see information below or starting November 2nd at select Balboa Island shops, Crush Clothing and Sunny Days on Marine Avenue. Off-island tickets may be purchased at Bliss Home Design on Pacific Coast Highway in Corona del Mar, Seaside Gallery & Goods on Tustin Avenue in Newport Beach, and Where’s the Party on 17th Street in Costa Mesa.
