The GrotonFest Family of Events is made up of three festivals celebrated throughout the year in the heart of Groton, MA. First launched in 1979, GrotonFest was formed to celebrate our town’s small businesses, showcase the budding artists and their crafts, and introduce nonprofit organizations in, and around our community. Produced by the Groton Business Association, our family of events showcase three individually unique festivals. Each festival celebrates all the wonders our region has to offer.

The Groton Community Home Tour showcases unique homes that include both historic residences and newer homes with spectacular decor and distinctive details. The tour provides an opportunity to view the beautiful interiors of these homes, and also to do some holiday shopping from vendors and local artisans with handiwork on display in each home. Additional artisans and vendors are also on site at Groton Community School on the morning of the Home Tour for attendees and also the general public. Be sure to stop by our renowned GCS Bake Shop!

Our annual Home Tour is held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. All proceeds benefit our nonprofit school, supporting the growth and development of young children.

Full day artisans and vendors will be set up in each home on the Tour, with additional half-day artisans/vendors located at the school. Items for purchase include jewelry, fine art, handmade clay and pottery items, signs/home decor, hand blown glass decorations, handmade knit items, dog accessories, children’s books, delicious baked goods, and other handmade wares. A complete list of artisans/vendors with descriptions of their offerings will be available at www.grotoncommunityschool.org/home-tour in early November.
