THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER INCREDIBLE YEAR IN FQ STORY!
What a tour! Our 2025 event brought hundreds of guests, dozens of volunteers, and a whole lot of neighborhood magic. Thank you for helping us celebrate the history, architecture, and community spirit that make F.Q. Story so loved.
Stroll through beautiful homes and gardens, browse the vibrant street market, and enjoy live music, local bites, and our new beer & wine garden. All in one unforgettable day.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2026 from 11:00am - 7:00pm
From welcoming guests to guiding home tours, we need you to make the day shine. Whether you have an hour or the whole day, there’s a way to help.
OPEN FROM 11:00am - 5:00 PM. Stroll through our festive, pedestrian-only Marketplace, where vendors showcase handcrafted goods, unique gifts, and seasonal treasures. And come hungry - the food trucks are sure to have something for everyone.
Whether you’re browsing the market or pausing for a bite, the live music from our main stage adds a special festive energy. And as the sun sets, let the sounds of the season surround you as traditional carolers stroll the streets, adding a nostalgic note to the evening’s glow.
Open throughout the tour (11am-7pm), our new beer and wine garden offers a relaxed spot to sip local pours, enjoy good company, and take in the charm of the event at your own pace.
As night falls, the street glows with the warm flicker of luminarias, guiding guests through the historic street and adding a touch of holiday magic as the tour heads into the evening.
Join 80–100 talented artisans, crafters, food vendors, and makers for a day filled with holiday cheer, live music, and thousands of eager shoppers. It’s the perfect place to share your work, connect with the community, and be part of a beloved local tradition. Hurry, registration closes November 15.

📍 FQ Story Neighborhood
The number of homes vary each year. We typically showcase between 9-12 homes, 6-8 gardens, and the Franklin School, which is a historic landmark.
Due to their historic nature, many of the homes on the tour feature stairs, narrow hallways, and other original architectural elements that may limit accessibility. While we cannot guarantee access to every home, many of the garden spaces are more easily navigable. The Holiday Street Marketplace and Beer & Wine Garden are located on flat terrain and are accessible to most guests. We will also have limited handicap parking spaces and electric “Reindeer Shuttles” to help get you around to see the homes. If you have specific accessibility needs, feel free to contact us at hometour@fqstory.org for more information.
You do need a ticket to tour the homes and gardens. The Holiday Marketplace, live music, and Beer and Wine Garden are free to explore. Tickets for the 2026 home tour will go on sale in October.
Tickets go on sale in October. Check back ofter to secure your early-bird pricing.
Dust off your galoshes, grab an umbrella and consider it an Arizona blessing! The Tour goes on rain or shine! Refunds will not be given due to rain.
Ample street parking is available around FQ Story. We will have "Reindeer Shuttles" (golf carts) available to shuttle you between your car and the various homes.
