Even though Halloween has yet to be celebrated, the Washington Chamber of Commerce is saying “Merry Christmas” as the annual Tour of Homes will be held this December. Assistant Director of the Washington Chamber of Commerce Dani Kane confirms the event will be held the first weekend in December.

Chamber Director Michelle Redlinger adds the event showcases the holidays in Washington. The Tour of Homes is held each year and proceeds from the ticket sales pays for the upkeep and use of the holiday lights atop the building in downtown Washington.
