Our house tour resumes this year: After a five-year hiatus, the Prospect Lefferts Gardens House & Garden Tour is BACK! It will be on Sunday, June 2nd noon-5pm. This is it’s usual “first Sunday of June” slot. The weather is usually excellent on this day. Regardless, the event is RAIN or SHINE. It will be PLG’s 50th house tour and it’s expected to be a “golden” experience for all. Eight sets of homeowners have stepped up to the plate to create a diverse lineup of interiors for you to enjoy. As the presence of house tours diminishes around Brooklyn, PLG’s is still going strong. This is a testament to the community-minded character of the neighborhood. It’s the friendliest tour around! When a break is needed, take advantage of the refreshment stop. “The Lefferts Lounge” will offer tourgoers a place to relax in a lush backyard, wet their whistle and enjoy some live entertainment arranged by PLG Arts. Take in a wine tasting or cocktail mixing demonstration. There’ll be something for everyone! $30 Advance Tickets are now on sale on Eventbrite.com. Click the link here.
