The House Tour is designed to be a self-guided tour. Advance ticket holders will check in at Mitchell Hamline School of Law (corner of Summit Ave. & Victoria St.) and will receive a House Tour guidebook. A limited quantity of day-of tickets will be for sale as well. The guidebook will serve as your entry to the event and will contain a map and information on each of the homes on the tour.

Tickets can be purchased here beginning in August 2026. A limited quantity will also be available on the day of the event for an additional charge.

To access the homes on the tour, you will need to first check in at our tent on the corner of Summit Ave. & Victoria St. (William Mitchell School of Law). You will receive a House Tour guidebook which will serve as your access pass for all the homes.

Please have your confirmation email pulled up while in line, as it will speed up the check in process. This year we will be operating separate lines for pre-paid ticket collections and day-of sales.

VIP ticket holders will pick up their tickets at the Summit Manor (275 Summit).

Tickets are non-refundable. The tour is a rain or shine event. All spaces will be open and events will go on regardless of the weather, and bus transport will be available to all tourgoers.

There are many places to park throughout the residential areas of the neighborhood. There is a paid lot on the corner of Grand and Victoria avenues, with the entrance on Victoria. Several areas within the neighborhood are permit-parking only, and we caution you to watch for those areas to avoid being ticketed. If you choose to park in the neighborhood, please use respectful behavior.

You are welcome to bike, walk, or drive to homes along the tour. There will also be a free shuttle service, running every 10-15 minutes along the route.

Shuttle routes will be posted on the event website closer to the date, will be available in your tour guidebook, and will be posted at each shuttle stop.

To protect the floors, we will require visitors to remove their shoes at each home. A tote bag to carry your shoes will be included with your ticket, and booties will be provided. We suggest you wear comfortable walking shoes that are easy to remove.

A map within the tour guidebook will show designated rest areas on the tour route.

Please ask the tour volunteers at each house if photos are allowed.

Information on both general admission tickets and the VIP Brunch will be sent Saturday the 26th. Please watch your email carefully and check your spam.

There are many wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and stores along both Grand Avenue and Selby Avenue that will be open. We encourage you to support our local businesses! Stroll the many parks, peak down alleys and discover hidden gardens. Our neighborhoods are places to linger, wander, explore and dream.
