FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where are the homes?
All of the homes are located in the Dallas area.
When will I get the addresses to the homes?

How does the tour work? Do you have to start at a specific home?
The Parade of Homes is a self-guided tour. You do not have to tour the homes in order. You can start at any home and tour them in any order. Each ticket holder will check in at their first home and receive an official Parade of Homes wristband. Please keep your wristband on at all times during the event.
How long does the tour take?
A good rule of thumb is to allow 45 minutes for each home including travel time.
What if we need to use the restroom?
No restrooms are available at any of the homes as they are private residences. Please plan accordingly.
Are Pets allowed?

Can we take pictures?
No cameras or photography are allowed inside the home (this includes cell phone cameras). Anyone taking photos outside or in the homes will risk the surrender of their ticket.
