According to Turtle Creek Association (TCA) Board Chair Deborah Stanford,
“The weekend of October 18th will be all about ‘Celebrating Turtle Creek.’ Events kick off on Friday, October 18, with the annual TCA Gala at the Virgin Hotel in Dallas’ Design District. Then, on Sunday, October 20, the Tour of Homes will feature four amazing and unique residences.

“This year’s Gala celebration will be filled with elegance, excitement, and entertainment. Guests will be wowed by the decor created by Mari Epperson and Sharon Ballew, enjoy a champagne reception, a delectable three-course seated dinner, live and silent auctions, and an unforgettable finale of dancing to the captivating tunes of the renowned Emerald City’s Limelight Band. Individual tickets start at $375. Sponsorships and Underwriting start at $1,000 up to $25,000. Sponsorships and tickets can be purchased at https://TCAgala24.givesmart.com.

“Cap off this celebratory weekend by joining us on Sunday, October 20, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. for this year’s highly anticipated Tour of Homes. Attendees will experience four magnificent homes nestled in the picturesque Turtle Creek area. The day will be filled with wonder, inspiration, and plenty of “oohs” and “ahhs”! Tickets for the tour are $45.00 and are on sale now. The ticket price includes shuttle service to and from each home, with convenient free parking provided at 3131 Turtle Creek Blvd.

“These back-to-back events aim to raise funds and awareness to preserve and protect the wildlife and ecosystem of Turtle Creek, an area often affectionately referred to as Dallas’ front yard. TCA is leading efforts to manually remove trash and has successfully advocated for public funds to address dredging and bank stabilization issues. However, more funds are needed to complete the vision. We desperately need your help to protect this natural jewel.
“Join us on Friday, October 18, for the Gala celebration and then experience the beauty of Turtle Creek firsthand during the Tour of Homes on October 20.
“Sponsorships and tables are available at https://TCAgala24.givesmart.com, but we expect another sellout, so secure your spot soon! Visit the website at www.turtlecreekassociation.org to learn more.”
