Grant Park’s favorite holiday tradition is back! Get ready for the 2026 Grant Park Candlelight Tour of Homes Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13. The committee is putting together an exciting lineup, reflecting the character and charm of one of Atlanta’s historic intown neighborhoods, where beloved Victorians and distinctive single-family homes sit alongside thoughtful newer builds and long-time residents still make the community feel like home.
Step inside homes like the Burns Mansion at 622 Grant St., Grant Park’s signature 1868 Queen Anne Victorian and a true holiday showstopper. You’ll tour a warm, family-friendly home with an incredible restoration story, then take in its unforgettable details, from original woodwork and period wallpaper to sweeping porches, grand stairwells, and a surprising well in the middle of the kitchen.
And the weekend is more than a home tour. Come early, stay late, and make an afternoon and evening of it. All activities begin at St. Paul United Methodist Church, 501 Grant St.*
Advance tickets are $35 and go on sale Friday, November 13. Tickets purchased during the Tour are $40. A $45 VIP ticket includes a special Saturday tour of Historic Oakland Cemetery and admission to the Candlelight Tour on either evening. Visit https://candlelighttourofhomes.com to purchase.
