The Algiers Point Association’s 36th annual Home Tour will take place Saturday, October 24th and Sunday, October 25th, from 11am to 5pm each day. One of New Orleans’ most beautiful and historic neighborhoods and, at 12 feet above sea level, one of its safest Algiers Point’s wonderful homes are showcased in this annual event.
This year’s tour homes are all within an easy walk one to five blocks of the Algiers Ferry Landing, making it particularly easy for visitors to join us by coming across on the Canal Street Ferry.
This year’s tour will showcase seven distinctive homes with a range of architectural and renovation styles. In different ways, the homes and their owners represent the unique character of this beautiful neighborhood.
Each home will be staffed by volunteers who can answer questions about the neighborhood and about the home. A map will be included in the brochure received at registration.
Local restaurants and bars in the Point will be participating in the tour, and open both days. Old Point Bar will have live music starting at 5pm both days and will be screening the Saints game, as will Dry Dock Café, Louie’s Corner Bar and the Crown & Anchor Pub.
Take the bridge or the Canal Street Ferry, a fantastic five-minute ride from downtown and the French Quarter, which runs until midnight every night. The ferry departs the east bank at 15 and 45 minutes after each hour, and the west bank on the hour and half hour.
Tour tickets are $12 per day in advance, $15 on the day of the event. In advance, tickets can be purchased by calling (504) 361-0736, by mailing checks payable to “Algiers Point Association” to 422 Bouny Street, New Orleans, LA 70114, at the Whitney Bank on 501 Verret Street, at Tout de Suite on 347 Verret Street and at Aunt Leni’s on 323 Verret Street. During the tour, tickets can be purchased at The Algiers Courthouse on 225 Morgan Street.
The Tour is presented by the Algiers Economic Development Foundation (AEDF). Proceeds will benefit non-profit organizations and efforts in Algiers Point to promote tourism and to improve the quality of life in Algiers Point.
