Home Tour

I'm convinced serving as hostess for the Home Tour is one of the best volunteer jobs around. People love to go to the tour, and they love to work for the tour. It's the most fun way to give back to Dilworth that I know of.    Dilworth Home Tour Head Hostess

Since 1972 Dilworth has opened its doors and welcomed friends and neighbors to its charming corner of Charlotte in one of Dilworth's oldest and grandest traditions: the annual Dilworth Home Tour. For decades the tour was held in August in conjunction with the Dilworth Jubilee. Summer heat and changing start of school schedules recently pushed it to a new time----the cooler days of September.

The tour requires the efforts of several hundred volunteers, and relies on the generosity of the Dilworth homeowners willing each year to open their doors to welcome those from our community and beyond to tour their gracious homes. The largesse of Dilworth business sponsors and the collective creativity of florists who work with each homeowner on custom arrangements donated for the weekend of the tour help make the event a true community collaboration.

The tour is Dilworth's only fundraiser. The bulk of the proceeds from the tour go to DCDA's annual budget, which supports  the DCDA website, the Dilworth Jubilee, the annual Conquer the Canquer campaign to protect our tree canopy, the Dilworth Quarterly, the Ladies' Holiday and Spring parties, the Dilworth Playgroup,and much more. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales is also donated to the Dilworth Cares focus agency of the year.
