The Annual Amelia Island Christmas Tour of Bed & Breakfast Inns will be held December 6th and 7th from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Visit and enjoy historic Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island's Victorian seaport fishing village where eight exquisitely decorated Victorian era inns, adorned with fresh trees, antique decorations, bows, ribbons and thousands of lights, will be showcased for your viewing pleasure. Friendly innkeepers in authentic Victorian era costumes will greet you as you enter through uniquely decorated doorways, and guides and storytellers well versed in the historic lore of these old and beautiful mansions will regale you with stories of the past.
At each inn, remember to look for the special Christmas Wreath that the innkeepers have created in the style of their inn just for you. These wreaths will be raffled off, and the money will be donated to local charities.
