The 2025 Grant Park Candlelight Tour of Homes is just around the corner. The annual event offers a festive and unforgettable celebration of the neighborhood’s timeless beauty and rich history through a diverse collection of homes that capture the essence of Grant Park’s charm.
This year, the tour will feature 10 stunning homes, including the iconic L.P. Grant Mansion, home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, and 585 Boulevard, a historic property that once housed the Miss Georgia Dairies Ice Cream Shop in the 1950s and 1960s. In addition to the beautiful Victorian architecture the neighborhood is known for, the tour will also highlight more contemporary designs.
Advance ticket sales open on November 14. Be sure to get your tickets early at candlelighttourofhomes.com to experience all that this year’s tour has to offer.
Back by popular demand, the tour will partner with the Historic Oakland Foundation, to offer a VIP Ticket that combines two unforgettable experiences. Start your evening with an exclusive one-hour guided tour of Oakland Cemetery, Atlanta’s historic Victorian garden cemetery. From the Bell Tower, you will uncover fascinating stories, stunning gardens, and architectural gems that make Oakland a truly unique and treasured part of the city.
After your stroll through history, continue the glow with VIP access to the Candlelight Tour of Homes on both Saturday and Sunday.
