Montgomery County's Best Kept Secrets Tour

Montgomery County's Best Kept Secrets Tour is an unusual shopping, food, and fun adventure featuring 27 off-the-beaten path businesses, hand-picked for their uniqueness. Set up like a home or garden tour, you will travel place to place, in your own vehicle, enjoying all the special free things (refreshments, games, gifts, demos, workshop tours, make & take projects, etc.) the businesses have planned for you. Your ticket is valid the entire time - do what you can in a day or go every day - it is up to you. Collect tickets to play the Shop & Win Game and enter to win over $800 in prizes. You can also enter to win a $200 shopping spree. Plus, each place has given you a valuable coupon.   

Although we won't tell you the names of the businesses ahead of time (the secret is part of the fun!), we will tell you the types of places you'll visit -unusual home, garden, and gift stores in historic buildings, local favorite cafés and restaurants, amazing florists and nurseries with everything you need for spring, a museum, thrift and consignment shops, shops with vintage items, antiques, artisan items, pottery, books, clothing, furniture, jewelry, candy, specialty foods, homemade organic skin products and so much more! There really is something for everyone! The stores are located throughout Montgomery County but if you follow our path you will never travel more than 15 miles between places and most are closer together. What a fun way to find the best kept secrets of Montgomery County!   

Tickets are $8 each - $1 per ticket is donated to Impact Thrift - an organization that provides financial support to several local non-profits that feed the hungry, house the homeless, and support children and families in need. The first 2000 people to purchase tickets will also receive a free goodie bag containing promotional items or small treats from the businesses - so reserve now! Every ticket contains a tour guide that lists the name, address and description of each business, a map of the business locations, the calendar of extra events and coupons from each business. Tour hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM, with some businesses offering additional hours.
