Save-the-Date – Catholic Charities Goshen Christmas House Tour Set for Saturday, December 1
Goshen – Join Catholic Charities of Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster on Saturday, December 1 to kick-off the holiday season with the 4th annual Goshen Christmas House Tour. The Tour provides an inside look at the beautiful Christmas decorations and festive finery of eight private homes in the greater Goshen area.
House Tour tickets are $40 per person when purchased by November 26, and $45 per person for tickets purchased after the deadline and on the day of the event. Homes will be open to ticketed visitors from 1 to 5 pm for self-guided tours. All proceeds from the Tour will support Catholic Charities’ social safety net programs which aid the neediest residents of Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties.
“Each year, generous homeowners put outstanding effort into decorating their homes with their holiday finest and welcome Catholic Charities’ guests inside to help raise much-needed funds to support our mission to provide help and create hope for those in need in our community,” said Kristin Jensen, Chief Advancement Officer for Catholic Charities. “The Goshen Christmas House Tour is a day full of fun, friends, and festivities to start the Christmas season – all for a good cause,” said Jensen.
Check-in, and “day-of” ticket sales, for the Christmas House Tour will open at 11:30 am at the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame, located at 240 Main Street, Goshen. At check-in, guests will receive their map, guidebook, and guest pass. Live music, light refreshments, and restroom facilities will also be available at check-in. In the event of snow, the House Tour will be held Sunday, December 2.
