12:00 PM - 5:00 PM

The 2025 Mill Hill Holiday House and Window Tour will take place on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 12-5 p.m.

The House Tour started 58 years ago, is Mill Hill’s signature event and a Trenton tradition. Homes in the neighborhood will display special decorations through their front windows and/or on their exteriors, with some of the homeowners hosting visitors with holiday music, refreshments, and insightful conversation on their stoops and sidewalks. With the variety of home sizes, ages, and architectural styles, Mill Hill’s nineteenth-century streetscape is one of the most interesting between New York and Philadelphia.

Tickets are available to be purchased in advance or can be purchased the day-of at Artworks. See you on the tour! The tour begins at Artworks located at 19 Everett Alley and South Stockton Street, Trenton.  TICKETS
