The 17th annual Holiday Tour of Historic Inns has been selected as one of the Southeast Tourism Society's Top 20 Events for the month of December 2010.

The holiday tour of St. Augustine bed and breakfast inns is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 11 and 12, this year.  The inns, decked out in holiday finery, open their doors to hundreds of visitors who enjoy refreshments and food from St. Augustine's finest restaurants,  who partner with the inns for the festive open house. Many inns on the tour also offer art displays and musical entertainment. Last year's tour also raised more than $6,000 for a local charity.  A new twist in this year's tour is live Webcam broadcast of the festivities on the St. Augustine Historic Inns Web site.

The Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Events publication receives extensive exposure in media throughout the U.S. and Canada. The events are listed on the STS Web site at www.southeasttourism.org.
