Potomac Country House Tour & Festival

Event Date: 
Sunday, October 5, 2014 - 12:00pm to 4:00pm

Potomac Country House Tour & Festival, now in its 58th year, is the major source of funds for the outreach programs of St. Francis Episcopal Church. Every year, more than 150 volunteers work to create a weekend of exciting events and a tour of lovely Potomac homes, generously opened to the public, to benefit more than twenty-five local, national and international charities.

We have four outstanding homes on the Tour this year – a lovely eco-friendly traditional colonial, an architect/designer’s industrial chic contemporary, a developer/architect’s 12,000 square foot renovation, and an elegant showcase mansion creating buzz all over town!
