(April 21, 2025) Pasadena, California. The Pasadena Showcase House of Design has opened for the 60th year, continuing a long tradition as one of the nation’s oldest, largest, and most successful home & garden tours. The 60th Showcase House has reimagined Bauer Estate & Gardens, a 1928 Monterey colonial estate with 15,000 square feet of living space on five acres of botanical gardens. Public tours of the Showcase House take place through May 18, 2025.
Bauer Estate & Gardens was officially unveiled during the annual Premiere Night Gala on Friday evening, with 373 members, designers, and supporters in attendance. Over $215,000 was raised to support the organization’s music programs, as well as grants for local nonprofit organizations, including those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires. Proclamations celebrating the 60th Showcase House were received from Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo and Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger.
Following just four short months of renovation, over 30,000 guests will tour through the 30+ interior and landscape design spaces highlighting cutting-edge trends in high-style living. Guests can expect the famous Shops at Showcase, offering a variety of boutique vendors, as well as several on-site restaurants offering hot meals, grab & go snacks, as well as beer, wine, and cocktails. Entertainment and programming is offered throughout the event showcasing local musicians, docent-led garden tours, weekend brunches, guest chef dinners, and more.

“It was thrilling to have such a well-attended Premiere Night Gala and raise crucial funds for local music and arts programs,” said Benefit Chair Marybeth Rehman-Dittu. “More importantly, it brought our community together to celebrate our resilience and show support for the many designers, members, and resources who lost their homes in the Eaton Fire. We are in awe of our designers who remain committed to this project.”
Celebrated interior designers Jennifer Bevan and Samantha Williams are serving as this year’s design advisors. Dunn-Edwards, a heritage California brand celebrating its 100th anniversary, is the exclusive paint supplier for the 60th year in a row. This year’s color of the year is “Caramelized.” To celebrate its centennial this year, Dunn-Edwards is also debuting “Viridian Odyssey,” its color of the century.
Sponsors of the 60th Pasadena Showcase House of Design include bila77, Dunn-Edwards, and Norman’s Nursery.
The Pasadena Showcase House of Design is the annual and only fundraising event for Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization.
