Benefiting Organizations

Funds raised through the Home Tour benefit local organizations’ efforts to improve the community and address the needs of their stakeholders in turn for helping to organize the tour and provide volunteers to make it happen.

The Jingle Bells Group

The Jingle Bells Group LogoLocal residents, business owners and service club participants came together to form The Jingle Bells Group and ensure the town of Grand Bend was seasonally decorated for the winter and Christmas seasons. Their mission is to illuminate the core of the town with lighting, vignettes, and other decor to make the season bright. Annually, they help organize Light Up Grand Bend in the Optimist Park where carols are sung, horse and carriage rides available, seasonal beverages and treats are enjoyed and children can celebrate the arrival of Santa. Typically, the event takes place at 5:30 pm on a Friday in mid November.
