Planning for the 2020 Kitchen Tour was fully underway when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the
world to shut down around us in early April. The Junior League of Wilmington had to make the
difficult decision to postpone our fundraiser until 2021. The world has changed much more than
we could have imagined since then, and our fundraising efforts have had to change as well.
This is the 13th Tour that the Junior League has hosted since it began in 2004. Formerly an annual
event, the Tour is now held on alternating years, and, as a major fundraiser for the League, the
Tour remains critically important to supporting the League’s mission. While our Reimagined
version of the Kitchen Tour will be nothing like the in-person events of the past, we hope this
year's Tour still brings people together around the kitchen as the heart of the home, despite its
virtual nature. Each virtual Kitchen Tour ticket is good per household and we encourage tour-goers
to attend the Cooking Classes "together" from their own homes.
