🎄 The 37th Annual Holiday Tour of Homes: Now Featuring the Silver Lake Residential District, a First for the Tour Saturday, December 5 | 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM Check-in at the Sanford Museum, beginning at 11:45 AM Sanford&#39;s most beloved holiday tradition is back, and this year it travels a little farther. For the first time in 37 years, the tour reaches beyond its usual footprint to the Silver Lake Residential District near the airport. This neighborhood has never been featured before, and it brings its own slice of old-school Sanford history, including historic homes and a grand estate. You&#39;ll visit these homes alongside favorites in Sanford Heights and the Historic District on a self-guided driving tour at your own pace. ✨ What to Expect This year&#39;s tour includes 13 stops across three neighborhoods: nine hand-picked homes, including a festive porch stop with Santa and snacks, plus four special stops along the way. Expect everything from cozy historic cottages to striking modern designs, each decorated for the season, along with architectural details, holiday d&eacute;cor ideas, and a close-up look at the neighborhoods that make Sanford home. 📍 Neighborhoods on the Tour<ul fr-original-style="text-align: start;" style="text-align: start; box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Silver Lake Residential District (new this year)</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Sanford Heights</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Historic District</li></ul>🎅 More Stops Along the Way<ul fr-original-style="text-align: start;" style="text-align: start; box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Sanford Museum: tour headquarters and check-in</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Hopper Academy and Community Garden: open 12 to 4 PM only</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Cart and Go: cookies and music</li></ul>🎁 Holiday Market Join us in Magnolia Square from 9 AM to 4 PM, in partnership with Project Sanford.
