Delray Beach’s picturesque Marina District will be the setting for the 22nd Annual Delray Beach Home Tour, benefiting Achievement Centers for Children & Families. On March 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., homeowners will welcome visitors into their beautifully designed homes and gardens in support of this vital community organization.
The Delray Beach Home Tour provides a unique glimpse into the city’s architectural diversity and interior design styles. “Each year, we select a different Delray Beach neighborhood where homeowners can showcase their interior design and architectural styles,” says Noreen Payne, co-chair of the event. “This year’s tour will feature an array of homes, from elegant Florida bungalows to lakeside estates, all offering inspiration for home decorating and gardening enthusiasts.”
Attracting visitors from across South Florida, the tour offers more than just a look inside stunning residences. Guests will enjoy a catered luncheon and a leisurely day strolling through one of Delray Beach’s most charming districts. The specific homes featured in the tour remain a surprise until the day of the event.
All proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorships directly benefit Achievement Centers for Children & Families. This nonprofit organization serves over 700 children and families through programs such as Early Learning (Toddler and Preschool), Out-of-School (After School and Summer Camp), and Teen Mentoring.
The Home Tour was originally envisioned by long-time Achievement Centers board members and supporters Anne Bright and Barbara Murphy. Today, the event draws around 100 volunteers and over 700 attendees annually.
Although there are no more tickets for sale, sponsorships for the Home Tour begin at $500.
The event’s main sponsor, Delray Buick GMC, has supported the Home Tour for nine consecutive years. “We are proud to support Achievement Centers and the important work they do for local children,” said Kevin Connolly, General Manager.
The Home Tour is led by co-chairs Deborah Dowd, Noreen Payne, and Kari Shipley, alongside a dedicated committee. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.achievementcentersFL.org.
