On June 8, 2024, the Westgate Neighbors Association will host a home and garden tour featuring unique homes/gardens in the historic Westgate neighborhood. This year is especially significant as the Westgate neighborhood celebrates its Centennial!

Proceeds from the tour will benefit our continuing efforts to strengthen and assist the Westgate community – with a portion of proceeds to fund the Westgate Neighborhood Association Scholarship.

12th ANNUAL WESTGATE HOME AND GARDEN TOUR

Saturday, June 8, 2024

Westgate Neighborhood / 2–6:00 p.m. / Rain or Shine

You can expect to see charming backyard gardens bursting with color. You can expect to visit homes with unique architectural features. You can even expect to walk, drive or bike along quiet tree-lined streets. You just wouldn’t expect to find all that here. In Westgate.

Our gracious homeowners range from well-established long-time residents of the neighborhood to new arrivals and first time homeowners. Westgate homes range in age and style, from the 20s to the 60s, and the stops for this year’s tour are a wonderful representation of this variety.

Westgate Neighborhood Scholarship

The Westgate Neighbors Association Scholarship was established in 2015 as an extension of our mission to “help our community thrive”. The $1000 postsecondary education scholarship is funded by a portion of the proceeds from the Westgate Home & Garden Tour. It is awarded annually to a qualified resident of Westgate who contributes to the betterment of their community through their demonstrated service and leadership. While GPA and course selection are considered, the committee is focused more on the candidates’ involvement with their communities.
