THE SHOALS-CARINGPLACE OF THE SHOALS will usher in the 2025 holiday season with an exciting new
twist on our annual Holiday Tour of Homes. On Friday, December 12 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and
Saturday, December 13 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., tour ticketholders will be invited into 10 distinctive

For the first time in the history of our event, the CARINGPLACE 2025 Holiday Tour of Homes
will open the doors to not only historically significant sites, but also to some of our area’s most
stunning contemporary homes and venues. Ticketholders will be inspired at every stop by one-
of-a-kind architectural features and designer furnishings and decor.
Also new to the 2025 Tour of Homes will be a live online auction, offering the opportunity to bid
on seven of the 12 Christmas trees fashioned by prominent Shoals area designers and florists
that will be on display at Mapleton in Florence. CARINGPLACE is also excited to provide a peek
into our adult day services facility, where attendees can snap a photo with Santa, enjoy chef-
prepared refreshments, and purchase gift baskets and trays from local caterers and businesses.
Children are welcome to visit CARINGPLACE during the tour without purchasing a ticket.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and property owners, 100% of proceeds from ticket,
tree, and basket sales will go to CARINGPLACE OF THE SHOALS, a 501(c)3 organization that
holds the distinction as the first and only adult day center in the United States to receive the
Montessori Inspired Lifestyle Gold Site Credential.
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at Kennedy-Douglass Art Center, Sheffield Public
Library, and First United Methodist Church of Florence. Each ticket allows ticketholders one visit
to each tour stop during the event, and stops can be made on one or both days of the event.
