The Tour takes place from Nov. 16 through Dec. 4, 2005.

Featured artists will include Eva Carter, Linda Fantuzzo, Rhett Thurman, Mary Edna Fraser, Julia Cart and sweetgrass basket artisan Mary Jackson. Innovative landscape and garden designs, coupled with exciting exterior architectural concepts, will also be showcased during the Tour and will serve as fresh venues for dining and entertaining ideas.
During the Tour, a series of special scheduled events including wine tastings, outdoor cooking and barbecuing demonstrations, art classes, holiday decoration seminars, artists receptions and more will take place in venues within this street of homes. The finale event on Dec 4, 2005, showcases the art of outdoor entertaining and features the creativity of some of Charleston's premier caterers.
