Lake Eufaula Association Announces First-Ever Christmas Tour of Homes

The Lake Eufaula Association is thrilled to announce our 1st Annual Christmas Tour of Homes, happening Thursday, December 11th from 4:30 PM to 8:00 PM. This brand-new holiday event celebrates the beauty, creativity, and festive charm of our community— and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!

Guests will tour several beautifully decorated homes along with a couple of local businesses that have joined in the holiday fun. Each stop will feature delicious hors d’oeuvres, festive touches, and even a few surprises along the way—including the possibility of live Christmas music to make the evening feel even more magical.

Tickets are $25 per person or $40 per couple, making this the ideal holiday date night. Please note this is an adults-only event, so parents—line up a babysitter and enjoy a festive evening out!

At the LEA office, we will have a beautiful display of wreaths for our Wreath Silent Auction. We are inviting area schools, individuals, and organizations to donate creative and festive wreaths to be auctioned during the event. The wreath that raises the most money will win $100 for the classroom or organization and a commemorative plaque. Attendees will also vote for the People’s Choice Award, given to the wreath that receives the most votes the night of the tour.

This year, the Lake Eufaula Association is proudly participating in Shop Eufaula, and we will have an assortment of Lake Eufaula gift items available in our Tourist Information Center—perfect for holiday shopping. Our office is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., now through Christmas, so stop by to pick up unique local gifts and lake-themed items.

The Christmas Tour of Homes is more than a celebration—it’s an important fundraiser supporting our long-term development plans. Funds raised will help us begin improvements on our five-acre property, including pickleball courts, a pavilion, walking trails, and a dog park. After two years of planning and discussion, we decided it was time to move forward, and this event is the perfect kickoff. Tickets are available now at: https://www.ticketsignup. io/TicketEvent/ LakeEufaulaAssocia-tionSChristmas-Parad-eOfHomes You can also find the registration link on our website: VisitLakeEufaula. com. For more information,

contact info@VisitLakeEufaula. com or call Rhonda at 918-6897751 or Kelly at 918470-7527.

Come help us make history and start a new holiday tradition in our community as we explore the magic of Lake Eufaula—one festive doorstep at a time.
