Ill be going to this as well as San marcos tour too. Its good that they are on consecutive weekends. I heard that Springfield is going to have a luminary similar to Riverside on the 10th as part of the tour too. That should real nice. I dont remember any other neighborhood doing a luminary besides Riverside.

Have not heard about a luminary yet. I know we tried a few times to have luminaries around the houses on the tour. Viewing this years map, it looks like a easy walk to all the homes and a luminary would be a nice touch.

I got a facebook message about the luminary nights.

I believe San Marco is doing one this year as well

Thanks for getting the word out Gonzo!

www.spartour.org has the details and your can purchase tickets via Paypal there. There's some absolutely gorgeous homes on the Tour this year, including the storefront-loft conversion that was featured on some of Metrojacksonville's contruction updates. There's no other space like it in Jacksonville. This year, we're rolling out a Luminaria on the 2nd day of the Tour as well. Dec 9th & 10th, 5-8pm with hot cider. Join us!

We are. And do every year.  I'm glad we are on different weekends with our good friends in Springfield.  Best of luck to all!

The Tour starts tonight at 5pm, last ticket sold at 8pm. It's going to be chilly, so we have hot apple cider for you. The homes, including the new loft, are just within a few blocks from eachother, so it's very walkable. Music at Three Layers afterwards.

Tomorrow night, same hours but a Holiday Arts & Crafts Bazaar will be going on during the day at Pak's (7th & Walnut), with a glowing luminaria throughout the neighborhood in the evening. It should be a special night!

Thanks for all the support!
