Since 1985, I've been attending an annual benefit that is so wonderful that I haven't been able to miss a year yet! This event is definitely worth seeing at least once in a lifetime, but it is so fabulous, I'm drawn back year after year, sometimes attending three or four times during it's run.
Since 1965, the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) holds the PASADENA SHOWCASE House of Design, one of the largest and most respected home and garden tours in the United States. The proceeds and donations for this benefit help fund concerts given by the Pasadena Junior Philharmonic and awards grants and scholarships to various musical programs throughout the Southern California area. A great benefit and this home and garden tour is one NOT to be missed. For designers, home stagers, landscape artists and anyone who appreciates architecture and design, this is the place to be.
A day at SHOWCASE HOUSE is really quite an experience. After enjoying a tour of the beautiful estate and gardens, plan on having lunch or dinner during night tours and of course, what would a day be without a little shopping.
If you live in or are planning to visit the Southern California area in April or May, try to make it a point to see the 2009 Pasadena Showcase House! You'll be glad you did! Here is the link below for more information and tickets. Enjoy! APRIL 19-MAY 17

Michelle: After checking out the links you've provided, I can understand your excitement!!! The designer of this years Showcase House also designed the Tournament of Roses House, Wrigley Mansion (I believe that is what it said), and I've been there! Pasadena has so many wonderful estates that tell the story of the history of this great city.
Maybe next year I will be able to go... Maybe I could huitch a ride.?
