Virginia-Highland to Host First-Ever Combined Tour of Homes, Winterfest

Atlanta’s historic Virginia-Highland neighborhood is gearing up for its biggest holiday weekend yet.

For the first time, the Virginia-Highland Civic Association (VHCA) is combining the beloved Tour of Homes with the neighborhood’s festive Winterfest celebration — and adding a brand-new attraction called Window Wonderland.

The weekend of December 13-14 will feature 10 stunning century-old homes decked out in full holiday splendor (some of which have been featured in Architectural Digest and House Beautiful).

There will also be family-friendly activities, a holiday parade, a Jingle Jog 5K, and creative window displays designed by Midtown High School art students in partnership with local businesses.

Virginia-Highland To Debut New ‘Window Wonderland’ Display

This is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season in one of Atlanta’s most iconic neighborhoods. And it’s so cool that they’re bringing everything together in one weekend and debuting Window Wonderland as a new tradition that supports both local merchants and the area’s talented high school artists.
