The Lakewood Home Festival returns for its 38th year November 15-16, featuring a tour of six homes, holiday market and food truck cafe, and candlelight home tour on Saturday night. Santa (and his photographer) will also be onsite both days before Santa heads to his post at Neiman Marcus Downtown for the season.
More than 4,000 enthusiasts attend the festival annually, to help raise funds for Lakewood Elementary School, J.L. Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School. Since its inception in 1976, the Lakewood Home Festival has raised more than $1 million.
Here is a preview of the homes on the tour, ranging in style from Spanish Colonial Revival to Texas modern.

6702 Anita St.
Inspired by New England cottage architecture and low-country Southern style, the owners designed this quaint rebuild in 2012. The home sits on the same footprint and maintains its original hardwood floors, and there are thoughtful, historically significant details throughout: dentil crown molding, dormer windows, Bevolo gas lantern imported from New Orleans, and retro touches of black and white tile flooring in the bathrooms and laundry room.
