Pella’s 55th Annual Christmas Tour of Homes begins next week.

Pella Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Jill Vandevoort says the 2017 tour will include four homes, with traditional Dutch treats at the Pella Opera House. Horse & Carriage rides will be offered in the community, with merchants remaining open late for holiday shopping during the evenings of the tour.

Ticket price for the tour including Dutch treats at the Opera House remain at $13, and increases to $15 after November 26.

Proceeds from the Pella Christmas Tour of Homes go toward ongoing special projects in Pella, community beautification or other projects that encourage visitor traffic, as well as quality of life initiatives for Pella’s residents.
