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.

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 Marleyโ€™s Mutts Dog Rescue Ranch, bringing adoptable puppies and dogs on-site. Attendees cuddled with the adorable rescues.
