For the past three decades, the Orange County women's club has hosted the large fundraiser, which injects swaths of charities with funding.

LOS ALAMITOS, CA — For the last two years, a decades-old landmark philanthropic event has been on hiatus amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Rossmoor Women's Club will reintroduce the Holiday Home Tour this year.

The tour has attracted interior design aficionados and philanthropic community members alike on the first Sunday of December for more than 30 years.

This year, the tour returns on Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will give the community an opportunity to tour five beautiful homes. Tickets are going for $25 and will go to fund college scholarships for Los Alamitos High School students and to a number of local charities.
