FORT MYERS WOMAN'S COMMUNITY CLUB
HOLIDAY HOUSE 2024
For sixty-eight years our club has been proud to host Holiday House. The members of FMWCC are excited to bring this timeless, treasured Southwest Florida tradition to life once more in a new and exciting fashion.
This November we're decking the halls,
or more specifically the windows,
of First Street in our picturesque historic downtown river district!
The ladies of the Fort Myers Woman's Community Club invite you to join us in 2024 for our second iteration of the Holiday House Christmas Stroll - a fun new take on a treasured Southwest Florida tradition.
Christmas Stories Through the Eyes of a Child
will feature a unique Christmas story, both traditional and modern, in every display.
IMPORTANT DETAILS

Is Holiday House at the Burroughs home or Langford-Kingston house this year? Due to consistent scheduling conflicts with weddings and other events during the holiday season, it has become increasingly difficult to sustain our event at the homes so Holiday House 2024 will take place exclusively along the stroll path to the west of the Davis Art Center.
When does Holiday House end? We kick off this year's event the day after Thanksgiving and will run until January. Holiday House will be available to the public, free of charge, for the entirety of the Christmas season!
Will there be any place for Santa pictures? FMWCC is pleased to share that Santa will be paying a visit to Holiday House on Saturday, December 21st! The Head Elf will be at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center from 10a until noon. Visits are free and photos will be available for a donation. We are hosting a book drive to benefit Believe N' Books , a 501(c)(3) out of Estero - founded in 2021 by a local eighth grader, who still runs it today as a high school senior ; we encourage you to bring a new or gently used book, from infant to young adult, with you to your visit. Monetary donations will be accepted as well.
Where do I park? We encourage you to enjoy the entirety of the event so there is no designated Holiday House parking. Garages are easily accessible and unmetered street parking is available throughout the river district.
