The Lakewood Home Festival began in 1976 when the Lakewood Early Childhood PTA staged a tour showcasing five distinctive and historic neighborhood homes as a fund raiser to purchase playground equipment for kindergarten children. Last year the home festival raised $155,000 for Lakewood Elementary, J.L. Long Middle School, and Woodrow Wilson High School. It has evolved into a series of fantastic events and activities listed on their website.

The Auction Party is ‘the’ social kick-off of the Home Tour! This year’s Friday Night Fever Auction Party will open its doors on Friday November 13, 7:30 PM, at the Belo Mansion in the downtown Dallas Arts District.

The Candlelight Home Tour is an intimate event on Saturday night to view the Home Tour homes. Visitors have the opportunity to mingle with homeowners and a BONUS HOME only available Saturday night. The Candlelight ticket is included in the cost of an auction party ticket, or individual tickets.

The Lakewood Early Childhood PTA (LECPTA) is a network of more than 500 Lakewood and East Dallas families of expectant parents and parents with children from birth through Kindergarten. They are a huge support of each other through the hardships, and joys, of parenthood. The group is a resource of information on parenting, daycare, education systems, neighborhood activities, support from other parents with kids of the same age, and have a lot of fun!
