Annual Holiday House Tour

The annual Holiday House Tour is the principal fund-raising activity of the Sippican Woman’s Club. Proceeds from the House Tour go toward scholarships to Marion students pursuing bachelor’s degrees as well as other orginazations serving the Marion community.

For over 30 years, Marion’s homeowners have generously opened their homes to the Tour. Until Tour Day the list of homes on the Tour is kept secret from all but a few. The Tour begins at Handy’s Tavern, proceeds to several local homes selected for special historical or architectural interest, and ends with the hospitality of the Sippican Woman’s Club at the Tea held at the Parish Hall of St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church (2 to 4 pm). Houses are open from 10 am until 3 pm. This year the Beverly Yacht Club will be open to ticket holders from 4 pm to 6 pm.

The Holiday House Tour Is traditionally held on the second Saturday in December.
