Offered on three Saturday nights in December, Cape May MAC launched this evening walking tour in 1974 and ever since it has been a highlight of the Christmas season in Victorian Cape May, America’s only National Historic Landmark City. Stroll along gaslit streets and visit homes, inns, B&Bs, churches and hotels, most within walking distance of each other, to see lovely interiors decorated for the holidays. This self-guided walking tour, centered in a 3/4-square-mile area of the Historic District, is Cape May’s longest running Christmas tour and Cape May MAC’s largest annual fund-raiser. Ticket purchasers obtain a map and wristband the day before or day of the tour at the Physick Estate. Advance purchase is highly recommended. Trolley shuttles will not be offered in 2024 as in years past. Not to worry. The majority of properties are clustered within a 20-minute walk in the Historic District with some just a few minutes from each other, and that makes walking the most efficient way to see the most properties with the least time spent waiting. Wear your most comfortable walking shoes, dress in layers, and feel the holiday merriment as you explore participating properties on foot in Cape May’s Historic District.
Proceeds benefit Cape May MAC, a not-for-profit organization committed to promoting the preservation, interpretation and cultural enrichment of the Cape May region for its residents and visitors since 1970.
