Producer Debbie Durkin once again treated LA insiders to the star treatment for her 18th annual ECOLUXE Endless Summer Festival, an invitation-only celebration that has become one of the hottest tickets during awards season.

As LA counted down to the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, the event welcomed a curated crowd of television nominees, Olympic legends, pro athletes, and A-list tastemakers from the film and entertainment industries.

An Event to Remember

Guests entered a private residence in Beverly Hills, posing for pics from Getty Images, as well as celebrity photographer David Christopher Lee, before checking out Man Labs Skincare, wellness activations from dermaFIT, Trifecta Red Light Therapy Bed, Lumara Systems, and Bioharmonic Technologies — as well as women’s fashions from celebrity designer Nikki Lund and ettitude luxury bamboo bedding.

A Taste of the South Meets Sunset Sips

Guests checked out southern sweets in the form of cupcakes from Anita’s Kitchen Co., while sipping curated wine tastings, signature cocktails, and summer-fresh mocktails as the sounds of DJ Pazy kicked up the tunes.

Puppies, Purpose, and the Power of Community

Beyond the glamour and gifting, the heart of the festival remained its philanthropic pulse. Continuing a beloved Emmy Week tradition, the event partnered with Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue Ranch, bringing adoptable puppies and dogs on-site. Attendees cuddled with the adorable rescues.
