Get ready to visit a selection of festive homes, aglow in lighted splendour as darkness falls in New Westminster’s favourite neighbourhoods. Walk through the principal rooms of six homes, including a stately 1885 Victorian in Brow of the Hill, a sleek 1959 Mid-Century modern in Massey Heights and a gracious 1911 Arts and Crafts home in Queen’s Park–and of course, a perennial favourite: Irving House, where staff in period costumes will show you a Dickensian Christmas.

All proceeds from Homes for the Holidays tickets are directed toward improving the quality of life for long and short term patients and rehabilitation programs at Queen’s Park Care Centre and the adjacent William Rudd House.
