Expect to see lots of people strolling around the Fabulous Forties this weekend as a favorite Sacramento holiday tradition returns.

After a year off due to Covid restrictions, the annual Sacred Heart Parish School Holiday Home Tour will once more busy the streets of the East Sacramento neighborhood.

“The home tour is back this year!” announced the organizers. “We will have five amazing houses for you to tour the first weekend of December. The Cafe and Boutique will also be back this year with wonderful vendors and delicious food.”

A Fabulous Forties tradition since 1973, the Sacred Heart home tour went on hiatus during Covid. Last year, the school still hosted its ever-popular holiday boutique and cafe, but no designer-decorated homes – the event’s main draw. Proceeds from the tour support school programs and help offset tuition for students in need of assistance.

For this return, the tour has five classic homes in its East Sacramento neighborhood, each decorated in style by local designers. Within easy walking distance of each other, the houses are located on 39th, 40th   and 41st   streets and Sonoma and San Miguel ways. (Addresses are available on the tour’s website.)

Tickets ($30) are available now online at a discount, but you'd better hurry. Online sales cut off Thursday, Dec. 1. Starting Friday, admission goes up to $35 and tickets may be purchased at Sacred Heart Parish School or home No. 1 on the tour, 1304 39th   St.

Meanwhile, admission is free to the event’s boutique and cafe. Held at the school, the boutique features more than two dozen local vendors and craftspeople. For a list of vendors, go to:   https://sacredhearthometour.com/boutique .

“We will be having an amazing in-person boutique this year,” say the organizers. “It will feature many of the vendors you have come to know and love over the years, as well as some new vendors. It’s a great place to do all your holiday shopping. There is something for everyone on your list. Bring your friends and make a day of it.”

Hours: Noon to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4.

Sacred Heart Parish School is located at 856 39th St., Sacramento.

Dig In: Garden Checklist for week of April 7

The warm wave coming this week will shift weeds into overdrive. Get to work!

* Weed, weed, weed! Whack them before they flower.

* Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and control weeds.

* Smell orange blossoms? Feed citrus trees with a low dose of balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) during bloom to help set fruit. Keep an eye out for ants.

* Apply slow-release fertilizer to the lawn.

* Thoroughly clean debris from the bottom of outdoor ponds or fountains.

* Spring brings a flush of rapid growth, and that means your garden is really hungry. Feed shrubs and trees with a slow-release fertilizer. Or mulch with a 1-inch layer of compost.

* Azaleas and camellias looking a little yellow? If leaves are turning yellow between the veins, give them a boost with chelated iron.

* Trim dead flowers but not leaves from spring-flowering bulbs such as daffodils and tulips. Those leaves gather energy to create next year's flowers. Also, give the bulbs a fertilizer boost after bloom.

* Pinch chrysanthemums back to 12 inches for fall flowers. Cut old stems to the ground.

* From seed, plant beans, beets, cantaloupes, carrots, corn, cucumbers, melons, radishes and squash. Plant onion sets.

* In the flower garden, plant seeds for asters, cosmos, celosia, marigolds, salvia, sunflowers and zinnias. Transplant petunias, zinnias, geraniums and other summer bloomers.

* Plant perennials and dahlia tubers for summer bloom. April is about the last chance to plant summer bulbs, such as gladiolus and tuberous begonias.

* Transplant lettuce and cabbage seedlings.

Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour

December 4, 2017 by Kathy 1 Comment

(Last UPDATED 10/21/2023)  Description and review of the Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour, a popular event featuring professionally decorated homes in the Fab Forties of East Sacramento.  NEW: See UPDATE below for 2023 dates and times.

Original Post

(12/4/17)  Description of the annual Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour, a popular three-day event featuring professionally decorated homes in the Fab Forties of East Sacramento.

To say that the Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour is wildly popular is an understatement!  Spending part of a day on the self-guided home tour is an excellent way to get into the holiday spirit. The event benefits the students of the Sacred Heart Parish School.

The homes featured on the tour are generally located in the Fab 40’s – similar to the East Sacramento Garden Tour held each year over the Mother’s Day weekend.  My plan of action was to walk to the home most distant and then make my way towards home – just as my daughter and I have done over the years on Mother’s Day.  See related post:  East Sacramento Garden Tour

SacramentoRevealed.com – All Things Sacramento (from a personal perspective)

Local designers are tapped to decorate each home on the tour.  Attendees not only have the opportunity to enjoy the beautifully decorated homes, but also to make note of the many clever decorating ideas utilized that can be replicated at home.

2017 Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour

The day started out overcast, but the sun was out when I started to make my way to 47 th Street.  It was a beautiful day and I had the opportunity to enjoy the many trees sporting fall foliage and the homes along the way all decked out for the holidays.

47th Street

When I arrived at the Tudor-style 47 th Street home there was a line to enter – and the same was true for each home on the tour.  However, I was in no hurry and the wait was never very long.  The 47th Street home had a Nutcracker Ballet themed design.  The kitchen counter was “dressed” in a pink tutu that extended to the floor.

44th Street

The next two homes on the tour were on 42 nd Street.  I, however, made a small detour on 44 th Street to take a picture of the beautiful “blue” home that was featured in the movie “Lady Bird”.  Lady Bird was both written and directed by Sacramento-native Greta Gerwig.  See related post: Lady Bird – A Sacramento Love Letter

42nd Street

Afterwards I made my way to 42nd Street.  The first home I visited on 42nd Street was a bungalow-style home.  On the front porch a fiddle player was playing Christmas music, and the interior decoration was designed to evoke a simple country Christmas.

The second home on 42 nd Street had an interesting backstory – it was modeled after a train depot for the original owners.  The home was decorated throughout with all things white and cream.

40th Street

The next two homes were both located on 40 th Street.  The first, a remodeled Craftsman-style home, had a winter sleigh in the front yard and the interior was decorated in classic holiday colors.  The second home on 40 th Street was a remodeled cottage.  The theme was “California Christmas” with some added sparkle.

39th Street

My last stop was a Cottage-style home on 39 th Street.  I had passed by the home on my way to 47 th Street knowing that it would be my last stop.  I was glad to see that the length of the line was much shorter than earlier in the day.

After leaving the 39 th Street home I continued down the street and stopped by the Sacred Heart Parish School to visit the Holiday Cafe and Boutique.  Both the cafe and boutique appeared to be doing a brisk business.  I then headed home.

To sum up, it was a very pleasant way to spend part of a beautiful sunny day in Sacramento – with the added bonus of getting in some exercise.

(10/21/2023) 2023 marks the 50th Anniversary of the home tour!  Home tour dates are Friday, December 1 (Noon to 8:00 p.m.); Saturday, December 2 (10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) and December 3 (11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).

(11/27/2022)  Mark your calendar for the 2022  event featuring five beautiful homes decorated to the nines!

The dates this year are Friday, December 2 (noon – 8:00 p.m.), Saturday, December 3 (10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) and Sunday, December 4 (11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).  Go to the Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour website (see above) to purchase your tickets.

(11/26/20)  This year the annual holiday home tour is going virtual!  2020 is the 47th Anniversary of the home tour.

The free virtual home tour will go live the weekend of December 12-13.  Links will be provided on the Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour website.

This year the event will feature four homes – a craftsman, a cottage, a modern farmhouse, and a bungalow all decorated for the holidays.

Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour Goes Virtual

Celebrating its 47th year in the historic neighborhood of East Sacramento, one of Northern California’s most beloved holiday home tours is going virtual! The  Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour  has always  been a beautiful way to kick off the winter season. So this year, the team at #KKDL has pulled out the plaid and offered up the preppy with the help of dear friend and collaborator, Tom Kurth of  The Ruralist . The Macko household will get it’s designer makeover this year as we celebrate the family’s antiques, Stickley furnishings and Ralph Lauren fabrics. The kitchen and bath are also getting a designer upgrade, touting new wallcoverings and gorgeous marble countertops.

If you see us out and about around town collecting local goods to dress this year’s home, please say “hello” or honk your horn!

The free virtual Holiday Home Tour will go live the weekend of December 12-13. So keep your Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour traditions alive by heating up the cocoa and baking some cookies or hosting an intimate friends luncheon or virtual cocktail hour while touring this year’s line-up online. East Sac Hardware has stocked up on holiday English crackers (a staple of our dining room holiday tablescapes) and plenty of twinkle lights for your celebration.

Regardless of your every-day décor style, there are a variety of ways to ring in the holiday season with your Christmas tree, table settings and outdoor spaces—just as we are for this year’s holiday tour. From themed and elegant ribbon, dazzling tree toppers, collected ornaments and twinkle lights galore, this year’s pretty in plaid motif will prove to be a stunner. In true home tour fashion, many of the beautiful decorating ideas presented are inexpensive, easy and fun, so the whole family can be a part of the trimming process. While traditional red and green hues can certainly set the stage for a merry Christmas celebration, you can also have a gorgeous display using non-traditional palettes and details. Whatever look you choose, we hope these ideas encourage you to celebrate in a way that reflect your personal style and brings your family closer together. After all, that’s what this holiday—and it’s festive décor—is truly about.

This week is your chance to get a look inside some of East Sacramento's most beautiful homes through the Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour.

The tour, which is a 45-year-old tradition, will feature five East Sacramento homes. Thousands are expected to come out and support the community fundraiser.

Some of the homes have traditional Christmas themes, but other designers said they are focusing on gold and black and non-traditional decor.

Organizers said the holiday home tour gets people in the Christmas spirit, offers decorating tips for the holiday season and supports a good cause.

"It is vital for our school. It is our biggest fundraiser and it allows us to keep our tuition at a reasonable rate. Also, (it) allows us to have children who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford to attend Sacred Heart," Sacred High School Principal Theresa Sparks said.

Every year, the Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour raises a $250,000 for the school and its students. This year, funds will also be donated to victims of the Camp Fire.

The holiday home tour starts Friday and goes through Sunday. Tickets are $30 in advance. They can be purchased online or at Sacred Heart School the day of the event.
