2nd Annual Midtown Holiday Home Tour
The Holiday Home Tour has a rich history in our Midtown neighborhoods of Broad Ripple, Butler-Tarkington, Mapleton-Fall Creek, Meridian-Kessler and the North Meridian Street Historic District. Sponsored for many years by the Easter Seals Crossroads Guild, the tour began a new era last year as the Midtown Holiday Home Tour.
Each home is decorated by a local florist, working closely with the homeowners to reflect their personal style. This Midtown tradition has helped families begin their holiday seasons for over 30 years.
Midtown Holiday Market at the Riviera Club
Free and open to the public!
Looking for the perfect holiday gifts? Get a jump on your shopping while supporting local artists and merchants.
