A number of homeowners in Delray
Beach’s beautiful Lake Ida Neighborhood will be opening their doors to visitors
during the 23rd Annual Delray Beach Home Tour benefiting Achievement Centers
for Children & Families on March 10, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Delray
Beach Home Tour is a unique opportunity to see exquisite interiors of homes and
gardens. The homes are announced the day of the event.
“Our annual Home Tour highlights
a different Delray Beach neighborhood each year, giving homeowners the
opportunity to share their unique interior designs and architectural
styles,” said Noreen Payne, co-chair of this year’s organizing committee.
“This year’s tour will take visitors through an array of distinctive
properties—from elegant Florida bungalows and lakeside estates to homes with
lush tropical gardens—offering design and gardening enthusiasts an
exclusive glimpse
into the refined lifestyle that defines Delray Beach living.”
During
the tour, which attracts visitors from throughout South Florida, guests can
enjoy a leisurely day exploring unique residences, strolling through the
neighborhood, and dining on a catered luncheon.
All Home Tour ticket sales and
sponsorships benefit Achievement Centers, which supports children and families
throughout Delray Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods. At Achievement
Centers, children are involved in Early Learning (Toddler and Preschool),
Out-of-School (After School and Summer Camp), and Teen Mentoring programs that
prepare them for academic and social success and empower them to discover their
talents. Achievement Centers families are served through programs like Family
Strengthening and Economic Stabilization, which benefit the community by
helping families in crisis; enabling them to serve as the foundation of their
child’s growth.
The Home Tour was first conceived by
long-time Achievement Centers’ board members and supporters Anne Bright and
Barbara Murphy.
Planning for the home tour, which
draws more than 800 visitors annually, involves more than 100 dedicated
volunteers.
“This event wouldn’t be possible
without the incredible dedication of our volunteers, the generosity of
homeowners who have opened their doors to visitors, and the invaluable support
of our sponsors,” said Kari Shipley, event co-chair.
Early bird admission price is $125.
Admission will increase to $150 on February 1, 2026. Admission includes a
luncheon, parking and trolley service during two separate groups, although the
morning group ticket is sold out. The afternoon group still has availability
and runs from 1:00pm – 4:00pm with lunch from 1:00pm –
2:30pm.
Delray Buick GMC returns as Presenting
Sponsor of the Achievement Centers’ Home Tour for the tenth consecutive year.
“We are honored to support Achievement Centers for a full decade through
this event,” said Kevin Connolly, General Manager of Delray Buick GMC.
“Achievement Centers builds the foundation for learning and academic
success for more than 700 local youth. We encourage the entire community to
join us in supporting this vital work.”
