What is the Home Tour?

The Share the Love for the Kids Home Tour is an annual event in which Punta Gorda homeowners and local builders open their homes for public tours.

A fun day for all to view gorgeous new or remodeled homes and to pick up a few design tips or décor ideas to spice up your own place.

But most of all, your ticket purchase helps to support children’s charities in Charlotte County. What’s not to love?
