The Naperville Garden Club's 58th annual Cup of Cheer House Walk, Holiday Market & Tea will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Dec. 5-6, at Judd Kendall VFW Post 3873, 908 W. Jackson, Naperville.

Visitors can tour four homes decorated for the holidays, enjoy a tea with homemade cookies, receive a commemorative cup/saucer and shop the Holiday Market for artisan items.

Each home is decorated by the homeowner and members of the garden club.

Christmas decor across several decades in the 20th century will be featured. It is a rare delight to tour this home during the holidays.

The market is open without a ticket from noon to 4 p.m. Friday.

House Walk tickets are $40 to $55 and proceeds fund club projects and scholarships.
