MANCHESTER, NH – The Palace Theatres is turning up the heat once again with the return of its beloved, award-winning Kitchen Tour — and this year’s event promises to be bigger and more inspiring than ever.
Now in its 19th year, the highly anticipated self-guided tour returns May 31, showcasing stunning kitchens and beautifully designed homes in Amherst, Hooksett and Merrimack. Presented with additional support from Granite State Cabinetry, the Kitchen Tour is not only a favorite community tradition — it is also the Palace Theatres’ largest annual fundraiser, helping sustain the nonprofit’s professional productions, youth theater programs and educational initiatives.
The day begins with registration at 9:30 a.m. at Granite State Cabinetry, 384 Route 101 in Bedford, with participating homes open for touring until 4 p.m.
Tickets are $55 in advance or $65 the day of the event and are available through the Palace Theatre Box Office by calling (603) 668-5588 or by visiting palacetheatre.org. All tickets include lunch generously provided by Baron’s Major Brands.
“Our annual Kitchen Tour is truly one of the community’s most cherished events, and we are incredibly grateful for the enthusiastic support from our patrons, sponsors and volunteers,” said Peter Ramsey. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for friends and families to spend the day together exploring beautiful homes, while also supporting the Palace’s mission and the programs that enrich our community year-round.”
As an award-winning nonprofit arts organization, the Palace Theatres operates its own professional company while also offering extensive youth and teen theater programs and hosting nationally recognized performers. Proceeds from the Kitchen Tour play a critical role in keeping those programs thriving.
