Published on Nov 30, 2025

For 58 years, the Women’s Committee of the Pasadena Symphony Association has opened Pasadena’s most elegant private residences to the public each December, transforming architectural treasures into seasonal showcases. This year’s 58th Annual Holiday Look In Home Tour continues that tradition, presenting four estates reimagined by master floral designers.

“The 58th Annual Holiday Look In Home Tour will be showcasing beautiful gardens and the magnificent architecture of four elegant homes embellished by the talent of the finest floral designers,” organizers announced.

The self-guided experience invites visitors to move through spaces at their own pace while docents illuminate architectural details and design choices. Live musicians stationed throughout the homes provide holiday melodies. “Enjoy a feast for the eyes and ears as you leisurely stroll through the homes and gardens while docents point out interesting features and musicians provide holiday music in the background,” the announcement promises.

Since 1957, the event has funded symphonic and community programs through the symphony association. For privacy protection, home addresses are disclosed only on paper tickets distributed to tour participants. Children under 10 are not permitted.

A free Holiday Boutique welcomes the public at the Pasadena Scottish Rite Center, 150 N. Madison Ave., operating independently of tour admission with free parking and extended hours.

The 58th Annual Holiday Look In Home Tour will run on Saturday-Sunday, Dec. 6 to 7, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The free Holiday Boutique will be held at Pasadena Scottish Rite Center, 150 N. Madison Ave., Pasadena, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.pasadenaholidaylookin.org. Tickets: $45.
