Organizers of the 2026 Vankleek Hill Christmas Home Tour have officially announced that tickets for this year’s tour, taking place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., are OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT.
Dubbed the “Never-Ever Christmas Home Tour,” this year’s event features seven stunning homes fully decorated inside and out for the holiday season. In a historical first for the event, none of the seven homes have ever been showcased on the tour before, offering visitors an entirely fresh experience.

The Vankleek Hill and District Nature Society
The Vankleek Hill and District Horticultural Society
The Vankleek Hill and District Historical Society
Arbor Gallery
The Vankleek Hill Agricultural Society
Hawkesbury Rotary Club.
