Tri-Cities residents will soon have the chance to check off two popular holiday traditions in a single weekend. 

The Geneva Chamber of Commerce announced the return of the Geneva Christmas Walk and Holiday House Tour, happening Friday and Saturday, December 4–5, 2026. 

Here’s what to know:

The celebration begins in downtown Geneva at 6PM with the Bob’s Candy Cane Parade and a candy cane presentation at Graham’s Chocolates. 

Next is the lighting of the Christmas Tree on the historic courthouse lawn, followed by the arrival of Santa Claus, who will visit with children at his cozy spot at 10 S. Third Street. Reservations are required for Santa visits.

The evening will also feature live carolers and viewing various shops and restaurants that are decorated for the holidays.

The festivities continue with the Holiday House Tour, featuring guided tours of five professionally decorated homes. It’s a rare chance to get a firsthand look at unique holiday décor inside some of Geneva’s most charming residences.

Hours for the Holiday House Tour:

Tickets and additional information are available here. A preview of this year’s homes are below:

This 3,096-square-foot Modern Transitional was built in 1994 and blends timeless architecture with modern design. The abundance of natural light, warm oak floors, reclaimed wood beams, and connection to the backyard create a space that feels both elegant and comfortable.

The house has undergone several renovations since 2022, but its natural character has been preserved through it all.

Welcome to one of Geneva's tallest homes. In fact, this 5,800-square-foot Augustine home was so tall when it was built in 2001 that the top had to be cut down to meet code. This open concept home has an abundance of natural light, perfect for watching snowflakes gently fall.

With two fireplaces, a sunroom turned lounge and heaters in the outdoor gazebo, there is warmth throughout the Day Family’s house where family and friends can reminisce on their favorite Christmas stories. 

This cozy, 1,402-square-foot modern contemporary home built in 2023 showcases current trends and styles, providing peace and warmth during the holiday season. It was built from the foundation up after the previous house was torn down. Three walls and part of the garage are the only original parts.

The coziness of the home radiates the loving spirit and togetherness of the Powell family. The unique seating options guarantee a spot for all family members and friends to gather around, laugh, and reminisce on their favorite holiday traditions from the past.

Discover the charm of this 2,810-square-foot 1924 Spanish Colonial Revival right in Geneva’s Historic Downtown District. This home carries several unique qualities from the exterior to the interior.

Since 2024, the house has undergone several renovations that focus on making it look more modern while preserving the historical character the owners fell in love with. The owners keep traditions alive, from the paintings representing where the husband grew up to their thrifted furniture. 

Every year, this 4,057-square-foot brick-and-cedar home, built in 2002, transforms into a Christmas Wonderland. Step inside to be greeted by Christmas decorations galore, making you feel as if you are at the North Pole, right in Santa’s workshop.
