Dear House Tour Guest&nbsp;,&nbsp; Thank you so much for your ticket purchase to the 32nd Annual Carmel House Tour, &quot;Designing Women&quot;.This year&#39;s tour is a wonderful collaboration between the Carmel Heritage Society and the AIA Monterey Bay Chapter, and we are so grateful for your support. We can&#39;t wait to share this year&#39;s homes with you. &nbsp;Here&#39;s everything you need to know about picking up your tickets:&nbsp; WHAT YOU&#39;LL RECEIVE&nbsp;Your ticket doubles as your map and house bios, all in one! When you arrive, you&#39;ll be given a single packet with your ticket, map, and descriptions for all of this year&#39;s featured homes. The full list of houses is also available on our website if you&#39;d like a preview before tour day!&nbsp; WHEN AND WHERE TO PICK UP&nbsp;Your tickets can be picked up at the First Murphy House on Lincoln St between 5th &amp; 6th on the following dates:&nbsp;Wednesday, July 15 - 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM&nbsp;Thursday, July 16 - 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM&nbsp;Friday, July 17 - 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM&nbsp;Saturday, July 18 (Tour Day!) - beginning at 10:00 AM, before the tour starts at 12:00 PM&nbsp; PARKING MADE EASY We have a few spots reserved by the city for quick pickup, both in front of the First Murphy House and across the street at the library. All reserved spots will be clearly marked. We&#39;ll also have a friendly volunteer stationed in the church parking lot next door to help direct you. Please note this parking is available for ticket pickup only, not for the full day of the tour. &nbsp;GETTING AROUND ON TOUR DAY&nbsp;A number of this year&#39;s homes are within walking distance of one another, so comfortable shoes are a great idea!
