What is the Home Tour?

The Share the Love for the Kids Home Tour is an annual event in which Punta Gorda homeowners and local builders open their homes for public tours.

A fun day for all to view gorgeous new or remodeled homes and to pick up a few design tips or décor ideas to spice up your own place.

But most of all, your ticket purchase helps to support children’s charities in Charlotte County. What’s not to love?

Mark your calendars! The 2025 Share the Love for the Kids Home Tour will take place on Saturday, March 1st, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Visit some of the most beautiful new and remodeled homes in Punta Gorda with your friends and family!

This year’s Home Tour promises to be even more spectacular, showcasing five beautiful homes in our community, each with its own unique design and charm. Your ticket purchase will directly support critical programs that provide housing, nutrition, education, healthcare and other vital resources to our children in need. After the double whammy of two hurricanes this season, the need is even greater than in the past.

Our Special Ticket Sale Day is Monday, February 3rd when tickets will be on sale for only $35 each! Beyond Ourselves volunteers will be in the Punta Gorda Isles Civic Association (PGICA) Lobby from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM accepting cash, check or credit card payments. Additionally, tickets can be ordered online using a credit card from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM on this special sale day.

From February 4th to February 28th, tickets will be available online at a cost of $40 each. Volunteers will also be in the PGICA Lobby on Monday, February 24th and Thursday, February 27th from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and on Friday, February 28th from 12:00 noon to 4:00 PM, for those who wish to purchase tickets in person.

Tickets can be purchased in person only on the day of the Home Tour, Saturday, March 1st, for $50 each at the PGICA, located at 2001 Shreve Street, Punta Gorda.
