The 2025 Grant Park Candlelight Tour of Homes Committee is currently assembling a fantastic list of homes to tour this December. The showcase aims to include a vibrant mix of homes, from classic Victorians and charming single-family residences to stunning examples of newer construction.
New to the tour is 619 Killian Street, a grand and exquisitely updated late 1800s Victorian home just steps from Grant Park. Its striking facade and double covered front porches radiate southern charm, inviting neighbors inside to admire soaring 12-foot ceilings, multiple living areas with stunning fireplaces, and a dazzling custom eat-in kitchen.
As usual, there is more to do than just tour the homes. Mark the times for all of the Tour activities:
Tour of Homes: Saturday, December 13, 6:00pm-10:00pm & Sunday, December 14, 5:00pm-9:00pm
Winter Wonderland: Saturday, 4:00pm-6:00 pm
Artist Market: Saturday, 4:00pm-9:00 pm & Sunday, 4:00pm-8:00 pm
Candlelight Concert: Sunday, 3:00pm
If you are interested in including your home on this year’s tour, the Tour Committee would love to hear from you. Your home does not have to look like a magazine article to be a great addition. Go to candlelighttourofhomes.com and click “Homeowners” to learn more.
The activities all take place at where the tour starts – St. Paul United Methodist Church (UMC), located at 501 Grant Street. St. Paul UMC offers weekly services on Sundays at 11:00am in person and streamed live on our Facebook page, @stpaulgrantpark. Please call the church at 404-688-7501 or visit StPaulGrantPark.org for more information.
