The Niagara-on-the-Lake Rotary Holiday House Tour: A Celebration of Festive Elegance

A Beloved Holiday Tradition

Each December, Niagara-on-the-Lake transforms into a winter wonderland as the Rotary Club hosts its annual Holiday House Tour. This cherished event invites visitors to step inside some of the town’s most beautiful homes, each exquisitely decorated for the season. Combining community spirit, creativity, and charitable giving, the tour has become one of Niagara’s most anticipated holiday traditions. With less than a month to go until this years event (December 5th & 6th, 2025), make sure you snag your tickets soon!

The Holiday House Tour offers a rare opportunity to explore private residences and heritage properties adorned with festive décor. Local designers, florists, and homeowners collaborate to create breathtaking displays that capture the essence of the holidays. From grand estates to cozy cottages, each home tells a unique story through its decorations—sparkling lights, lush garlands, and imaginative themes that inspire visitors to bring a touch of that magic into their own homes.

Beyond its beauty, the Rotary Holiday House Tour serves a meaningful purpose. Proceeds from ticket sales support local and international Rotary projects, funding initiatives such as youth programs, community services, and global humanitarian efforts. Every ticket purchased contributes to making a positive difference, embodying the true spirit of the season—giving back.
