The 33rd annual North Augusta Christmas Tour of Homes is slated for Dec. 3 and 4, highlighting a historic home, homes on a golf course, on the river front and in popular North Augusta neighborhoods.
A candlelight tour will be from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3 while the daytime tour will be from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4.
The tour has become a holiday tradition for many people over the last three decades, according to Linda Skinner, of the Xi Beta Gamma Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi which organizes the tour each year to raise money for college scholarships.
On this year’s tour are the historic Charles Hammond house on West Martintown Road; the homes of Charles and Beverly Moody in Campbell Towne Landing, Chris and Courtney Wolbert in The Colony, Regina Reddy in The River Club and Mark and Erin Jarvis in Woodstone. In addition to the five homes, the Arts and Heritage Center of North Augusta’s galleries and gift shop will be part of the tour. There, patrons can enjoy refreshments and holiday music, according to a news release.

The North Augusta Beta Sigma Phi chapter agreed in 1988 that the Christmas Tour of Homes event would be not only a profitable fund raiser for North Augusta High School student scholarships but also an enjoyable occasion for the community and out-of-town visitors.
Beta Sigma Phi uses most of the proceeds from the Tour of Homes to fund scholarships to North Augusta students with the balance going to North Augusta non-profit organizations. Since beginning the tour, Xi Beta Gamma Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi has given approximately $189,000 to high school graduates.
Tickets may be purchased at Arts and Heritage Center, Jim Bush Flowers and Gifts, CommuniGraphics, and Parks Pharmacy in North Augusta, Consign Design in Martinez and Plum Pudding in Aiken. Advance tickets are $20 available in person through 2 p.m. Dec. 3; tickets during the tour are $25 and may be purchased at any stop on the tour. Tickets may be purchased online until Dec. 1 at natourhomes.org.
