Last Weekend of the Artisan Home Tour

There’s only one more weekend of the Artisan Home Tour, it ends this Sunday, so if you haven’t gotten out to see these 22 stunning homes this is your last chance.

This is the second annual Artisan Home Tour put on by the Builders Association of the Twin Cities, the same people who put on the Parade of Homes each spring and fall. This year there are 22 executive level homes on the tour, #13 is the Custom One Homes entry, and all are open for tour Friday, Saturday and Sunday (June 19th, 20th and 21st).

Unlike the Parade of Homes the Artisan Home Tour is not free. You need tickets to tour these beautiful homes. You can purchase a full pass to see all the homes on the tour for $30 when purchased at the homes, $25 when purchased online and $20 when purchased at Bachman’s or Patina locations. You can also purchase individual tickets for each home for $5.

Children are welcome on the tour but those over the age of 5 must have a ticket and you must be responsible for them at all times.

Proceeds from ticket sales benefit the charitable foundation of the BATC and a portion of the cost of your ticket is tax deductible so save your receipt.

Be sure to bring shoes and especially socks on the tour. You will be required to remove your shoes and bare feet will not be allowed. No cameras either but you can view all of the beautiful homes on the Parade Craze app. Bathrooms are not available in the homes so please plan ahead. You can learn more about the Artisan Home Tour here.

Custom One Homes has one home on the tour this year, home #13.
