Get an inside look at the festive finery of a selection of private homes in the greater Goshen area with Catholic Charities of Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster, which will kick off the holiday season with its fifth annual Goshen Christmas House Tour on Saturday, Dec. 7.

Tckets are $40 when purchased by Dec. 2, and $45 after that or on the day of the event. Homes will be open to ticketed visitors from 1 to 5 p.m. for self-guided tours. All proceeds will support Catholic Charities’ social safety net programs, which aid the neediest residents of Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties.

“We are grateful for the support from generous homeowners who go above and beyond in decorating their homes for Christmas and opening their doors to welcome Catholic Charities’ guests,” said Kristin Jensen, Chief Advancement Officer for Catholic Charities. “. They help raise much-needed funds to support our mission to provide help and create hope for those in need. The Goshen Christmas House Tour is a day full of fun, friends, and festivities for a great cause."

Check-in and day-of ticket sales will open at noon at the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame, 240 Main St., Goshen. At check-in, guests will receive their map, guidebook, and guest pass. Live Christmas music, light refreshments, and restroom facilities will also be available at check-in. In the event of snow, the tour will be held Dec. 8.

Tickets may be purchased online at cccsos.org. For questions, or to purchase by phone, contact Sheila Toohey at 294-5124, ext. 308, or sheila.toohey@cccsos.org. A variety of sponsorship and advertising opportunities are also available.
