Events

House Tour
	Each year, The Villagers present to the Miami community a tour of exceptional homes that are of outstanding architectural or historic value. The first week in December is a special time when these homes are opened by their owners for viewing by the guests of The Villagers. The house tour has a well-established history of only providing the most extraordinary homes of carefully selected neighborhoods.

Garden Tour
	Spring brings a tour of some of Miami’s most beautiful gardens. Many of these gardens are the creation of some of our most famous landscape architects. All reflect the loving care of their owners and spotlight the beauty of foliage and flowers of our special climate.

The Harvest
	The Villagers support the annual Harvest Festival sponsored by the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Come visit our booth at this fun event and you will see each year a new quilt handcrafted by our members. Each quilt is designed with a theme depicting a historical event or place. Raffle tickets for the quilt are available at this festival.

The Hunt
	Once a year The Villagers and their guests gather to compete in a hunt for known historic sites. Our clue makers provide devious and challenging clues that only those most determined and somewhat knowledgeable can decipher. The race is on, and the team with the most cunning (and luck) visits each site to come in first and win the prize. Win or lose, we all celebrate with a party and auction at the end of the hunt.


The Quilt
	Each spring a group of talented Villagers gathers together to design and create a historic-themed quilt. The quilt is new and different every year and has included events and places such as Hurricane Andrew, the Everglades, Art Deco District and Stiltsville. Each year a raffle is held at the House Tour to award the quilt and to raise funds for historic preservation and scholarships.
